Alan Leightley was chosen as Fotospeed Photographer of the Year 2017 with his winning
image of the Milky Way over the Lake District.

As well as the fantastic prizes, seeing your image printed and framed at The Photography Show is a great feeling. I now have several types of great quality Fotospeed paper that I can use for my photography projects and I look forward to spending the day working
