Jane Lee

I always enjoyed taking ‘holiday snaps’ but didn’t take photography seriously until I joined Dorchester Camera Club. My photography skills were initially very basic, but my knowledge improved through attending workshops and talks by professional photographers, as well as through my involvement with club activities.

My favourite genres are nature and sea/landscapes, particularly minimalist snowy landscapes. More recently, I have become interested in creative techniques, such as Intentional Camera Movement (ICM) and Multiple Exposure (ME). I enjoy creating unique, impressionistic and abstract images and seek to portray the essence of the landscape, rather than a literal copy of what I see. I print my own work using fine art papers and pigment inks to produce giclee prints.

Over the years, I have been fortunate to win numerous awards at club, regional, national and international level and my photographs have been included in four books. One of my first major successes was to have an image selected in 2015 for the Landscape Photographer of the Year and again in 2017. I have been selected by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain to exhibit in their prestigious Masters of Print Exhibitions in 2018, 2019, 2020 (Silver Medal), 2023 (Silver Medal) and 2024. Only 60 photographs by 60 different photographers are chosen from over a thousand entries from across the country. Most recently, I was delighted to win the Creative Category in the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year with ‘Colours of Harris’, which was taken on Luskentyre Beach in Scotland using ICM.
