In the coming weeks The-Latest will feature several young, creative photographers who have agreed to work with us to share some of their stunning images for your enjoyment.
With the start of London Fashion Week on Friday, this is a great time for us to introduce our first photographer in this series: Amar Daved.
He is 22 and based in London, UK. Amar originally worked as a professional model for the MOT model agency, however his 
passion for taking photographs led him to embark on courses in fashion photography at the London Academy of Media and Arts and digital photography at Barnfield College.
He has completed photographic assignments for Tesco store catalogue, Oyster magazine and the online Fashion 156 at Graduate Fashion Week. Amar has recently shot a spring/summer 2009 fashion collection for London knitwear designer Victoria Stride and worked for Matches Fashion taking pictures of their high-end designer garments on mannequins.
* The British Fashion Council is celebrating 25 years of British Fashion throughout 2009.
