This month Photography Studies College is abuzz with many students and graduates posting about their recent accolades from Capture Magazine's Australia's Top Emerging Photographers list. In the Student Category one of our first year's won the top award (and her image graced the cover), and two more students were listed in the Top 10. A PSC graduate made the top 20 in the Portraits Category, and a PSC tutor who is also a past graduate took out 9th place in the Art Category. And many others have been Highly Commended in various categories of photography. We talk to a few of these rising stars about their award-winning work – and along the way discover why PSC students have an edge of others.

What have been your favourite moments on the job?
In the business of photography you are shooting 2% of your time and the rest is running a business. For me it’s the 2%, being out on the ice with the polar bears, with nature. The rest of it is just “waiting”. Steve McQueen once said racing is life and everything else is just waiting around, and it’s like that with photography for me.
When I'm not out on the ice, I am just counting days until I will next be back doing what I love most.

Helen Wilms recently visited PSC after graduating from the college thirty years ago, during "the age of film, chemicals and dark rooms." Being a prolific student at the time, Helen remembers having more photographs on the walls of PSC than anyone else. "It was a big deal," she tells us while looking at newly displayed digital prints of our current graduates.
