Illustrative Photography Competition Results Annonced

The Society of Photographers is happy to announce the results from the recent Illustrative Photography Competition.

Angi Wallace ASINWP LSWPP from Tyne & Wear, Enlgnad image entitled ‘Red Ink Carnation‘ was chosen as 1st place.

Angi has won 12 months Professional membership to The Societies (worth £150).

The image is part of an ongoing project that Angi is working on called submerged plant life series.

Angi tells us ”The image is titled Re Ink Carnation and is part of my submerged plant life series, which is a project that I will be working on for the whole of 2024 and probably longer. The project involves exploring the circle of life and imperfect beauty through plants, by attempting to capture the fleeting, transient moments in time/life using the 4 elements to help me express the nature and personality of each plant. I research the flower or plant, delving into the history, folklore and legends, uses throughout history and present, meanings, medicinal uses etc, which helps me to build up a kind of back story and personality that I then attempt to portray using colours, movement, lighting etc. For now most of these are submerged in liquids and much of what you see is straight out of camera and impossible to replicate precisely, often lasting just seconds at a time. I love that transient nature of the project, combining a kind of liquid art with photography. I create some with smoke and spores too which is the next stage of my project which I intend to concentrate on more next year, along with light.”

Colin Jones The Societies CEO says ”The entries for this year’s Illustrative Photography Competition were of an exceptionally high quality. Angi’s image, which depicts plant life, seamlessly fits the theme of the competition.”

Cristina Pascu-Tulbure from Merseyside, England was awarded 2nd place and Roger Newark from Cambridgeshire, Enlgnad was awarded 3rd place.
