“Seeing my shot in print from last years showcase inspired me to print more of my work, and I now have several of my shots on the walls at home, including my showcase shot from last year. Having something tangible to show for your work is very special and very important
Winning was a big surprise. There were so many good shots, and although I obviously thought mine was good it didn’t really occur to me that it might win. I got out of bed at 4:00am, drove to Richmond Park, and stood around on a really cold October morning to get the shot, so it was well worth it.”

“Seeing my photo in print from last year’s showcase was a real turning point. It made me look at my photography in a more serious light and gave me the push I needed to start investing time into growing my business. I’ve even started exploring the idea of printing calendars for friends and family—something I never imagined doing before.
Coming second in the competition was a complete surprise. The standard of entries was incredibly high, and let’s be honest—spiders aren’t exactly everyone’s favourite subject! But that recognition gave me a real boost and reminded me that sometimes the unexpected can be the most rewarding”

“Seeing one of my photos printed up and on display in last years show gave me a feeling of accomplishment, It gives it more perspective compared to seeing it on the screen or in 4x6 photos that I used to print and file away in the photo albums. It is now hanging on the wall in my living room a remender of what I am capable of how much I have grown as a photographer, and encouraging me to keep going, looking forward to entering in this years show.”

“Seeing my photo printed and on display, at the end of year show for the group, was a great experience. Having only ever looked at my photos on screen or in small format, it was nice to see it. Also made a gift to my parents after.”
