"I was delighted to win such a massive competition especially to beat so many other entrants from all over the country," Hannah said.

She developed an interest in photography aged 11 during her secondary school education at Kingsbridge Community College. She said: "When I was young I liked taking pictures of family and pets. Then I started going outdoors to take pictures."

She now specialises in marine and landscape photography.

The young photographer added: "Once I've finished college I'll be looking for freelance opportunities and more work experience."
