日期：2023年7月13日，星期四普里菲斯戈尔-雷克瑟姆/雷克瑟姆大学一名摄影和电影专业学生的一个特别项目主题是展现出巨大毅力和韧性的个人的励志故事。 作为她最后一个专业学位项目的一部分，该校大四学生katie mccormick拍摄了人们在逆境中表现出勇气的肖像和充满情感的故事。 从癌症继发患者转为活动家的丽莎·琼斯；社区急救员，贝桑·琼斯；李·斯莫尔（leesmall）曾获世界最强壮残疾人、英国最强壮残疾人两次、欧洲锦标赛和众多英国力量举重比赛等殊荣，他们只是凯蒂项目中的一部分。 大学校长柯林·杰克逊·cbe也是凯蒂此次项目的拍摄对象之一，她拍摄的杰克逊肖像使凯蒂获得了英国专业摄影学会颁发的年度米德兰地区摄影师的称号。 凯蒂在发现自己获奖成功后说：“能够坐下来采访这些不可思议的人，他们不仅与我分享了他们的个人故事，还让我拍摄了他们的肖像，这是一种绝对的快乐和荣幸。 从始至终，这是一个很好的工作，也是一个真正特殊的方式来结束在大学美好的三年。 “对我来说，这个项目是关于讲故事的力量。 我知道一句老话是“一张照片胜过千言万语”，但实际上——也许我不应该作为一名摄影师这么说——了解一个人的旅程肯定会让你以不同的方式看待他们的图像，如果可能的话，你会以更强大的视角看待他们。 “对于我拍摄到的每一个人，为了配合他们的肖像，我都制作了一本迷你杂志，详细介绍了他们的故事和他们的旅程。 这是我做过的最漂亮的作品。 “我非常感谢所有出色的男男女女，他们同意参与这个项目，相信我的故事。 “这幅作品获得英国专业摄影学会的认可也让人感到不可思议。 作为这个项目的一部分，凯蒂的作品在最近的“序曲”展览上展出，该展览展出了该大学艺术与设计专业大四学生的作品。 摄影与电影项目负责人斯蒂芬·金补充道：“我为凯蒂的这部引人入胜的作品感到无比骄傲。 她为此付出了一切，所以她被英国专业摄影学会认可真是太好了。这是一个具有真正历史意义和国际行业意义的组织，尤其是一个关注社区的项目。 “我还想借此机会祝贺我们所有出色的大四学生，他们为这场演出所付出的奉献和努力。 “序曲”展览的巨大成功是他们在过去三年中所学到的一切的结晶，为他们作为毕业生的个人抱负提供了信息和支持，每个学生都为此付出了很多，这无疑表明。 去年，katie还被英国专业摄影学会评为年度摄影棚肖像摄影师奖得主，并在2022年秋季认证的专业新生儿摄影师国际比赛中获得第一和第二名。 下面是凯蒂在这个最新项目中所介绍的每一个人的快照，她用自己的话描述了这些人：科林·杰克逊cbe，威尔士前短跑和跨栏运动员，雷克瑟姆大学校长，他是一个乐观和有抱负的人，给学生和同事们带来了知识和快乐。 在他的田径生涯中，他代表英国和威尔士，获得了一枚奥运会银牌，两次成为世界冠军，一次成为世界室内冠军，在欧洲锦标赛上12年不败，两次获得英联邦冠军。 莉萨·琼斯，一位勇敢的竞选者，被诊断为继发性癌症。 尽管得到了诊断，但这并没有阻止她，相反，她利用自己的经验为其他患者发声。 莉萨与其他20名女性患者联合起来，发起了#战斗被倾听运动。 李17岁时遭遇了一场严重的事故，导致他失去了一条腿。 为了帮助他的精神恢复，他去了健身房，凭借纯粹的毅力和决心，他赢得了世界最强残疾人、两次英国最强残疾人、欧洲锦标赛和许多英国举重比赛的冠军。 白山琼斯&白山是她所在社区的热心支持者。 作为一名训练有素的急救员，她总是想办法学习，并与同学们分享她的专业知识。 最近在国防部晋升为下士。 约翰救护cymru学员，她在封锁期间付出了额外的努力来表达对他人的同情，甚至为当地救护车服务协调抽奖。 macy williams&由于被诊断为自闭症和选择性缄默症，macy创建了一个社交页面，为那些有着闻所未闻的声音的人提供力量。 为了给社交媒体和她的社区带来欢乐，她开始留下温暖人心的礼物来点亮人民节。 作为对她的崇高努力的认可，梅西最近在f琼斯倡议奖中获得了第二名，该奖项旨在表彰雷克瑟姆最无私的人们。 斯蒂芬·奥布赖恩&他对ssafa（士兵、水手和飞行员家庭协会）的支持表明了他对帮助那些需要帮助的人的鼓舞人心的承诺。 尽管受伤，他仍继续积极为慈善机构筹集资金，该慈善机构在困难时期为现役军人、退伍军人及其家人提供援助。 他已经证明，没有什么能阻止他，并决心通过筹款努力有所作为。 凯瑟琳•哈夫&在心力衰竭需要进行移植手术后，凯瑟琳开始了艰难的康复。 但她的复原力从未动摇，她现在为其他需要或需要移植的人提供支持和明智的建议。 ruth dive致力于指导个人，去年她在“现在就看我”倡议上的工作取得了巨大成功。 作为该项目的一部分，她支持了10名十几岁的女孩，通过教育她们做出积极决定的价值，帮助她们建立信心。 因此，女孩们发行了自己的书，努力推广她们在该项目中获得的课程。 sam rowlands&sam是北威尔士参议院议员，目前也是地方政府的影子部长。 萨姆的角色意味着他是他所服务的社区的榜样。 梅拉妮·吉兹&通过生活指导，梅拉妮将自己的一生奉献给了健康和自我保健。 随着她的书《成为omg神话的指南：当你意识到你想要从生活中获得更多时，如何开始》的出版，她已经能够赋予无数女性权力和提升她们，让她们在身体和灵魂上都感到美妙。 随着她的书《成为omg神话的指南：当你意识到你想要从生活中获得更多时，如何开始》的出版，她已经能够赋予无数女性权力和提升她们，让她们在身体和灵魂上都感到美妙。date: thursday 13th july, 2023 the inspirational stories of individuals who have demonstrated immense fortitude and resilience are the subject of a special project by a photography and film student at prifysgol wrecsam/wrexham university.katie mccormick, a final year student at the university, has captured portraits – and the emotionally charged stories – of people, who have shown courage in the face of adversity, as part of her final major degree project.from secondary breast cancer patient turned campaigner, lisa jones; community first aider, bethan jones; to lee small – a man who has previously been awarded the title of worlds strongest disabled man, britains strongest disabled man twice, the european championship and a multitude of british powerlifting competitions – they are just some of the individuals who have featured as part of katie’s project.university chancellor, colin jackson cbe was also one of katie’s subjects for the project – and her portrait of mr jackson has seen her land the title of midlands regional photographer of the year with the british institute of professional photography.speaking after discovering her award success, katie said: “being able to sit down and interview these incredible people, who not only shared their personal stories with me but also allowed me capture their portraits was an absolute joy and a privilege. from start to finish, it’s been wonderful to work on and a truly special way to round off three wonderful years at the university.“for me this project was all about the power of storytelling. i know the old saying is ‘a picture is worth a thousand words’ but actually – and maybe i shouldn’t be saying this as a photographer – understanding a person’s journey definitely makes you view their image in a different way, you see them in an even more powerful light, if that’s possible.“for each individual that i captured, to go alongside their portrait, i created a mini magazine, which detailed their story and the journey, in which they’ve been on. it’s been the most beautiful work i’ve ever produced.“i’m extremely thankful to all of the fantastic men and women, who have trusted me with their stories by agreeing to be a part of this project.“it also feels amazing to have had this work recognised by the british institute of professional photography.”katie’s work as part of this project was exhibited at the recent ‘overture’ exhibition, which featured the works of the university’s final-year art and design students.stephen king, programme leader for photography and film, added: “i am enormously proud of katie for this truly engaging and compelling piece of work. she has given her all to this, so it’s wonderful that she has been recognised by the british institute of professional photography – an organisation with real historical and international industry significance, especially for a project that focuses upon community.“i’d also like to take this opportunity to congratulate all of our fantastic final-year students for their dedication and effort in making this show happen. the huge success of the ‘overture’ exhibition was a culmination of everything they’ve learned over the past three years informing and enabling their individual aspirations as graduates, each and every student put so much into it and it definitely showed.”last year katie was also named the winner of studio portrait photographer of the year award by the british institute of professional photography, as well as achieving first and second place with the accredited professional newborn photographer’s international’s fall 2022

through his support of ssafa (soldiers’ sailors’ & airmen’s families association). despite suffering from an injury, he continues to actively fundraise for the charity, which provides assistance to serving personnel, veterans, and their families during hard times. he has demonstrated that nothing can hold him back and is determined to make a difference through his fundraising efforts.catherine haf – after heart failure necessitated a transplant, catherine embarked on a difficult recovery. but her resilience never wavered, and she now provides support and wise counsel to others, who have
