A recording of our September 2026 Competition held via Zoom. The subject was “Odd Man Out” for this competition.
Our judge was Jamie Davidson, an award-winning outdoor & nature photographer with a passion for finding and capturing beauty in all places, from flowers and still life to landscapes, intimate scenes and ordinary places. Her images range from macro and abstracts to intimate, grand and rural landscapes. She embraces an interpretive style in her work through techniques such as Lensbaby, infrared, long exposures, ICM and multiple exposures in the field and creative approaches to interpret in post. As a photographer and visual artist, Jamie is open to experimenting and playing with new techniques.
Jamie is a Lensbaby Ambassador and fell in love with the look and feel of Lensbaby products over twenty years ago and has incorporated them as part of her style and approach to subjects of all kinds.When feeling creatively “stuck,” she reaches for her Lensbabies to shift her mind and vision into a zone that lets go of perfect and allows her to explore and play without listening to the voices that restrain, internally or externally. The imperfect and ethereal nature of Lensbaby opens the door to a different way of capturing the world. This freedom is what keeps her from trying to color within the lines.
