THESE are the photographs taken by a Kingswood teenager who has been voted Britain's Best Young Photographer by a world famous picture agency.

Hollie Cookson, inset, aged 18, of Falconers Green, impressed the judges at Getty Images with her portrayal of life in the north west, which included these images of a barber shop in Penketh and a workman eating fish and chips.

After winning the competition in December, Hollie's prize is shadowing celebrity snapper Dave Hogan, whose famous subjects include the photo of Madonna and Britney Spears kissing at the MTV awards, at the NME awards tonight.

She said: "I absolutely can't wait. I will be covering the red carpet and inside the event where they show the awards.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Russell Brand, Alexa Chung and the Arctic Monkeys."
