STUDENTS snapped up some top tips from The Bolton News' chief photographer Gus Sivyer.

Gus visited A-level photography students at Bolton Sixth Form to speak about his work on the newspaper before leading a practical session in Queens Park.

The young photographers worked on a theme entitled "Essence of Autumn".

Some of the work has been personally selected by Gus to appear on The Bolton News online gallery with Lauren Edmond's picture appearing in the paper. Gus said: "It was great to share what I do with students."
