Creative Selfies
This weekend sees the start of The Photography Show. I haven’t shared with many people – until now – but I am proud to say that I made it through to the final 10 in the ‘60 Seconds to Change Your Life’ competition which is run in conjunction with the show. The prize was over £15,000 worth of products to help you start your own photography business.
The first challenge to get through to the next round was to take a creative selfie. On this post are a few which I came up with. I think I know where I went wrong with the one I sent through.


If I had got through I had needed to make sure I was free to go to the show on Monday and Tuesday for the semi-final, followed by the final. The semi-final takes place tomorrow at 8am, for which there is a challenge taking place in the exhibition hall. On Tuesday is the live final – a photo shoot in front of an audience. Good luck to the final six!
I now plan to go up tomorrow and am looking forward to catching up with the By Lumiere team and their competition partners to find out how I can improve – and may be try again next year.
I’d love to know which one you think I should have sent through to the judges?


Wow these are amazing. A huge well done for making it through to the final 10. I really like the first one. Very clever. x
Well done for getting to the final 10.
All your photos are fantastic but I do love that first one. Very clever x
I did a double take when I saw the first one and realized it was you in all three images.
The first and last one really pop your personality. They’re brilliant photos and I hope you win Vicky!!
A huge well done for making it through to the final 10. Those are great shots. I particularly like the first one though – so cleverly done! 🙂
I like the lens ball shot the best. Congratulations, a great achievement and you should be rightly proud of yourself!
Well done for making the final 10, what an achievement. I love the first one, and the third one is great too. I’m not so keen on the middle one though, it looks a bit creepy to me. All of them are incredibly imaginative though. x
Well done on getting through to the next stage. Good luck. I like the first one best, although the lensball one is clever too
The first one is probably the best one for me! #MySundayPhoto
Fantastic to make it to the final 10 well done. I hate taking selfies but I do like your idea for the first one best. Years now since I’ve been to the photography show, it’s hard not to spend money there! #MySundayPhoto
Congratulations for making it so far in the competition! I really like the first picture, capturing different aspects of your life.
I love the first one so much, it’s so creative. Well done on getting so far.
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I love the first one too, you are definitely very creative with photography x
For me the first one is the best….but would the judges have called that a selfie as it’s three selfies blended together? Anyway, love the colour in the final shot and it took me a few minutes, but I eventually figured out how you took that shot with the Lensball! Hope you have fun at the show and better luck next time. #mysundayphoto
Hi Victoria, and congratulations for getting through to the final 10. My favourite photo is the first one, it has an almost Dr. Who feel about it. Very creative.

Well done on getting so far, I love them all but the bridge one is my favourite, arguably the others are more creative.
They’re all good shots but that first one in particular is very cleverly done!
