SPECIAL PRESENTATION VIA ZOOM
'AT THE END OF OUR GARDEN’ MY JOURNEY TO FELLOWSHIP BY JAYNE ODELL FRPS
Norwich & District Photographic Society are delighted to announce that Jayne Odell has agreed to open the Autumn programme of Special Presentations with her new photo-talk that covers the story of her journey and development through the RPS Distinctions process – looking at her ARPS and FRPS panels, she will describe how she achieved success. Jayne has also promised to allow time to present some of her other favourite inspirational black & white images.
In October 2020, Jayne was awarded Fellowship of The Royal Photographic Society (FRPS) – their highest accolade in photographic distinction with a body of work titled ‘At the end of our garden’. The work, a panel of 21 black and white images, depicts atmospheric behind-the-scenes moments of horse racing with the trainer Charlie Fellowes and his team at Bedford House Stables in Newmarket where she lives. Jayne says it’s was a project that I feel such a connection with and a subject that’s both intrigued and captivated me. Of only 750 Fellows worldwide, I am now honoured to be one. I continue this journey of documenting the beauty and power of thoroughbreds in training as well as the landscape and kinfolk of Newmarket. I hope you enjoy my images.
Jayne is a member of The Royal Photographic Society, The RPS Visual Arts Group, The RPS Women in Photography Group, Norwich & District Photographic Society and She Clicks. She is also a Permajet Brand Ambassador.
Guest Tickets will not be available for this Special Presentation as NDPS looks forward to welcoming our friends from Old Coulsdon Camera Club in South London and other invited guests

About Special Presentations at NDPS
Every month at Norwich and District Photographic Society there is the opportunity to hear inspirational photographic talks by photographers who are recognised to be at the top of their game and renowned specialists in their field of photography. The quality and range of subjects included in these Special Presentations are we believe unequalled both here in Norfolk and much further afield. Further, arguably alone they more than justify the cost of becoming a member of the Society.
The programme for the 2021-2022 Season has been designed, to offer a broad range of excellent speakers who will cover, as in past seasons, a far reaching range of photographic genre. Whilst there remains some uncertainty regarding how quickly we shall return to the new normality after covid we will continue to take a flexible approach and only announce the final details about a month before each presentation.
Members of the Society are normally able to attend Special Presentations free of charge. However, NON-MEMBERS wanting to attend a Special Presentation can usually purchase a guest ticket prior to the event. Guest tickets (subject to availability) must be purchased in advance and are only available from our ticketing partner Eventbrite.co.uk.
Please note the ticket office for each individual presentation is not open until approximately ONE month prior to the date of the presentation when all arrangements for the evening have been agreed and confirmed between the presenter and the Society.
Online Presentations
During the coronavirus pandemic the Society put together a revised programme of Special Presentations that were presented online. These online events proved to be very successful, with good attendance and we thank all our speakers and members who have adapted to this medium. Post-covid we envisage that we shall continue to make full use of the available technologies to deliver our Special Presentations. In the past year online presenttions has widened our reach and we have hosted speakers from the furthest points in the UK, throughout Europe and much wider afield from Australia and the United States.
We don’t intend to allow geography to be a reason for not heaing from the very best photographers worldwide in future seasons. Equally, we shall evolve to ensure this is achieved in the most effective way for our members
