The two students were helped by some world renowned photographers.

Twelve students from 6 continents were shortlisted to compete in 'Student Focus' at Cannes where they took part in photography workshops and challenges this week.

"The student photographers had to tackle a very challenging brief for the final round of the Student Focus. One group produced the distinctly superior work which demonstrated a sound grasp of the brief," said Tom Ang.

"I'm delighted that it is Jamia Milia Islamia from New Delhi that will be receiving the very substantial prize of digital camera equipment," added Tom Ang.
