A former Norton College photography student who scooped the 2005 Times/Tabasco Young Photographer of the Year award is to display some of her work at her own exhibition in London.
Clara Molden won a six-month paid contract with national newspaper The Times, working as a news and features photojournalist, after topping the competition.
Since completing her prize in January she has been working as a freelance for the paper, and now a selection of her work is to be exhibited in Homage, Waldorf Hotel, Aldwych, from April 26 until May 26.

The winner of this year's competition is also due to be announced later this month, and one of their winning images will be displayed alongside Clara's work.
Clara said of her prize: "It has been an amazing experience for me, I have learnt so much technically about my photography and how the industry works.
"The best part of being a 'Tabasco kid' is the amount of interest and support you get; I am so pleased I have had the opportunity to work with The Times."
Clara, who studied Norton's NCTJ press photography course, also won the BG Group Student award at the 2005 Picture Editors' Awards.
