Jaskirt Dhaliwal, a contributor to TheFA.com has won the Photo Image Council (PIC) award for 2006/07.
Jaskirt is in her final year of a BA Honours in Communication, Culture and Media, Photography and Digital Imaging at Coventry University and her winning project was aimed at raising the profile of female footballers.
While male footballers are ranked as celebrities in a commercial and corporate world where media waits for new headlines, the exact opposite is true of female footballers who generally have to pay money to play.
Jaskirt has sought to explore the identity of these women and also photographed portraits of players outside of their football environment. Her interest was sparked from her own passion in football, and she now also works as a voluntary reporter for Birmingham City Ladies.
Jaskirt Dhaliwal will present their work to members of the photographic and imaging industry and trade press on Thursday 11 January 2007 at the Ramada Hotel, Watford. Her work will also be on display at Focus on Imaging, NEC, Birmingham from 25 - 28 February 2007.
