Deal photographer Brad Hobbs needs your vote to see his David Bowie memorial photo in print

A Deal photographer is asking for your vote after a picture he took of David Bowie’s memorial in Brixton has been shortlisted to feature in National Geographic magazine.

Following the death of the iconic singer in January last year, Brad Hobbs, 26, spent a day at his memorial created by akajimmyc capturing the emotion of fans, friends and tourists who were paying their respects.

Brad said: “This image was one of my favoured from the day because I feel it shows the crowd in deep thought not only taking in the artwork in front of them but remembering the Starman."

He continued: "Like many photographers having your photo used in National Geographic is the ultimate goal.

“To have my image win and be used in the magazine would be a dream come true.

“Please help me make it to print by voting.”
