Presidentʼs Welcome A very warm welcome to Winchester Photographic Societyʼs 89th Annual Print Exhibition The Winchester Photographic Society has had an Annual Print Exhibition for nearly 100 years. Our Centenary is in two yearsʼ time, and the Print Exhibition is still ʻtheʼ big event in our Season. We are delighted to be able to display our best images in the City Space gallery at The Arc in Winchester. It is a great privilege to be President of the Society this year, and to see the depth and breadth of our members photographic skills displayed for you. Our Annual Exhibition encourages members to make, show and sell physical prints, and showcases the work of the Society to the wider community in and beyond Winchester. There are 11 Classes, ranging across nearly every photographic genre, from Portraits to Nature, Action to Street/Urban, Creative to Scapes, as well as Monochrome, Hampshire, Beginners and Free Subject, plus a Set of Three. These classes encourage members to work in a variety of styles, rather than concentrating on one particular specialisation. Please vote for your favourite image. The Murla (Peopleʼs Choice) trophy is awarded when the Exhibition closes. It goes to the image which received the most votes from visitors. I hope you will take time to vote for your favourite. In numbers: 56 members entered the exhibition. There were 524 entries submitted and we have been able to display 139 images from 53 members. There are 11 Class winners and 40 submissions received Certificates of Merit – all of those are shown in this catalogue. The Society is indebted to the Hampshire Cultural Trust for their support and hosting of the Exhibition again, in particular Kirsty Rodda and Gisselle Giron for their organisational input and the expertise of the whole HCT team who have worked to put on this exhibition The Exhibition would not have happened without the support and organisational skills of Gavin Bowyer, a past President, and from our Treasurer Dr Lilian Hobbs for being able to organise and display the images for the judges. I also wish to add our thanks to Geoff Sharman for his work in managing previous Exhibitions. Many WPS members have come forward to help with the practicalities of sorting and framing the photographs that you see here. Most of the images on display are for sale as mounted prints. HCT staff on duty will be happy to help you with any you wish to purchase. Thank you very much for visiting our Annual Print Exhibition. I hope you enjoyed viewing the photographs and will let us know which is your favourite. Tony Large President, Winchester Photographic Society WPS Annual Print Exhibition 2022 1
Our Judges We invited three experienced judges, Paul Mitchell FRPS, Ashley Francis CPAGB and Derek Gale LRPS to judge the images. We thank them for their time and expertise. Paul Mitchell Paul is a professional landscape photographer and a well respected photographic judge as well as lecturer. During lockdown, he was a key judge assessing panels for RPS Distinctions, ensuring that the physical, submitted prints were up to standard whilst the remaining panel members judged online. His commitment to prints, and to photography at the club level, makes Paul an ideal judge for our exhibition. Ashley Francis Ashley is an active member of Fordingbridge Camera Club. He joined the SCPF panel of judges in December 2018, and was upgraded to an SCPF Level 2 judge in February 2020. Ashley was the judge for our first online competition after lockdown was imposed in March 2020; he was a very popular judge and was given great feedback by WPS so we were delighted to have him on the panel for the exhibition. Derek Gale Derek is a professional photographer specialising in contemporary portrait and wedding photography. He also has a passion for imaginative and mysterious Fine Art Photography. He has judged for WPS competitions on several occasions and was a judge for our annual exhibition in 2020 when we were first forced to go “online” for our judging. It was a pleasure to welcome him back this year. Quotes from the judges: “Just spent the morning, along with two other judges, on the selection panel for a large single-club photography exhibition. There were over 500 entries. A fascinating set of images. Great to see that club photography is going strong in these strange days.” “Thank you for inviting me to judge and for the opportunity to see the wonderful images.” “All those who participated must be congratulated for submitting such varied and high quality images.” 2 WPS Annual Print Exhibition 2022
