Margaret Elliot – competition judge

 
“A little about myself:- I have taken photographs since I used my mother’s box brownie, I continued to use point and shoot compact camera’s.

  It wasn’t until I retired from my hairdressing business in 2003 that I purchased a Canon SLR camera and joined the Dumfries Camera Club. Not understanding the language, I attended the Dumfries College for a course in general photography, I graduated in 2006 with an HND.

I have worked through the club assessments first CPAGB, AFIAP, DPAGB and EFIAP before sitting an assessment to be a judge with the NCPF and the SPF. 

2015 my love of photography drew me to collate an exhibition of prominent buildings which was the work of a local architect from the 1800’s, ‘Walter Newall’. An 8-week project which escalated to 3 and a half years. After researching the architect for so long I published a book on the subject, and had it printed and for sale in 2019. 

2020 brought me back to club awards and on the 14th October 2020, I Submitted a panel of fine art prints to the RPS and was enrolled as an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society, ARPS can now be added to my achievements.
