ZOOM MEETING
Tonight, be inspired by the breathtaking photography of Mieke Boynton who was the first Australian and first woman to win the prestigious Epson International Pano Awards, with three of her abstract aerial photographs receiving Gold Awards.
Her “Landscape and Aerial Photography” presentation begins with a very brief explanation of her background, and then – through audience interaction – highlights a series of maximum-impact elements of Landscape Photography in an engaging and entertaining way.
She also presents a selection of her abstract aerial photography and provides some useful advice for members if they wish to try their hand at this genre.
There will also be plenty of opportunities for discussion and questions too throughout the talk...!
Throughout the past year NDPS has through zoom been able to bring members the opportunity to hear inspirational speakers from around the globe and we are delighted that Mieke has agreed to be our first presenter from Australia.
Non-members of the Society can attend this presentation by purchasing a Guest ticket which are available only through our booking agent Eventbrite UK using the link below. Early booking is recommended as we anticipate very high demand for the limited number of available tickets.
Here are some examples of Mieke’s outstanding work which is being shown with her permission:
About Mieke Boynton
In 2008, Mieke Boynton moved to the remote Kimberley region of Western Australia for a teaching job and instantly fell in love with the ancient, rugged landscape. She began capturing photographs as a way of sharing her appreciation with family and friends, and this quickly developed into a full-blown passion for landscape photography.
Mieke became a full-time professional photographer in 2018 and that same year, was named “Victorian Travel Photographer of the Year” by the Australian Institute of Professional Photography. In 2019, she was awarded the title of AIPP Victorian Landscape Photographer of the Year. She is the first Australian and first woman to win the prestigious Epson International Pano Awards, with three of her abstract aerial photographs receiving Gold Awards.
Mieke has been a member of the Australian Photographic Society (APS) since 2011 and was awarded the Grand Master distinction in 2016 and the Exhibitor’s Medal in 2017. She has received fourteen FIAP Gold medals from the International Federation of Photographic Art (FIAP).
Mieke now lives in the beautiful alpine township of Wandiligong in Victoria. She enjoys sharing her knowledge through online workshops, individual tutorials, and camera club presentations whilst carrying out commissioned landscape and aerial work.
She regularly shares new work, updates and events on Facebook and Instagram
