The more eager perusers of this site should know that, for the past few months, Alice Dellal, Miquita Oliver, Daisy Lowe and Lovefoxxx have been photo blogging their lives through the eye of the Olympus E-P1 for us and uploading their photos to our Stories of the Eye minisite.

This wasn't just good news for celebrity stalkers, it was also a good opportunity for young photographers. You see, the girls each had a chosen theme to base their pictures on, so we invited budding photo-takers to submit their own photos to one of these categories for a chance to win an Olympus E-P1. The ladies have now chosen the winners for each of their categories, and the names and winning pictures are shown below.

Comment from Miquita: "I like this picture as it would have been easy to find a tramp in London lying in the street, but Kingsley has made the picture beautiful. I like the composition and I can a sense of real London."
