Photography has been a passion of mine for more years than I care to remember! My favourite genre of photography has to be landscapes and to be outdoors surrounded by nature and the elements is so rewarding and good for the soul! My favourite locations are the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, particularly in the winter when the harsh weather can often present many challenges but also some fantastic lighting and atmosphere.
I print all photographs myself; there is nothing more satisfying than seeing the final image emerge from the printer, the whole process is then complete! I use A2 Professional Epson inkjet printers, Epson inks and archival photographic paper, particularly fine art baryta for black and white and a cotton rag or textured paper for some of my colour work.
I have been a member of various camera clubs for well over 30 years and continue to enjoy the camaraderie that being in a club of like minded people brings.
I am delighted to say I was awarded a Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society for submitting a panel of 21 prints in the Landscape genre. This project was undertaken and completed during the pandemic of 2020/21. The pinnacle of the RPS awards and one that I always hoped I would achieve! Prior to this I gained my Licentiateship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2006 with a selection of colour slides and I achieved an Associateship of the RPS in 2008 with a panel of fifteen macro flower photographic prints.
I was awarded Runner Up in the Landscape category of the 2024 Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year awards along with a Commended award. I have also been shortlisted in the 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 Scottish Nature Photography Awards, and I have had photographs published in Outdoor Photography magazine. As a result of my recent RPS Fellowship award I have had a 7-page feature in the magazine of the RPS Landscape Group. I have had commissions from a local hospital to supply canvasses for their corridors and patient rooms and my photographs have appeared in calendars, diaries and magazines and in many private collections both in the UK and abroad.
Jayne Winter Photography gives me the opportunity to showcase the much broader spread of my personal work. I hope you enjoy looking through my galleries. All images are available to purchase.
