Agricultural Show

We are pleased to announce Mr Ian Rolfe as our photography judge in 2022! Whilst he will be overseas at the time of the show, the transition to a digital competition has allowed us to take advantage of his photography expertise. Examples of Ian's work can be found at his website www.ianrolfelightscapes.com

Ian started writing a column for the Photo-master magazine about eighteen years ago. Since then, he has written and published over 160 articles for various magazines and published 3 of his own photographic books. Thousands of Ian’s images are sold each year to appear in books, magazines, newspapers, travel brochures and on many commercial websites. His photographs too, have been purchased specifically by the National Library of Australia, The British Museum, The BBC, The National Park service, The ABC, SBS, Nine network, Qantas, National Geographic, Australia Post, Huawei mobile, French Geographic, Microsoft, Dulux, Fairfax media, The Victorian Government, Lonely Planet, Time magazine, The Flight Centre, Mobil Exxon and many other fine media outlets and institutions worldwide. He also conducts up to five Photographic Landscape workshops each year, often with his close friend Ewen Bell, to destinations both locally and internationally.

Ian’s Photographs have won numerous Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and High commendations, both here in Australia and at International Salons. Ian is an associate member of the AIPP, a Grand Master of the Australian Photographic Society, has been awarded the distinction of Artiste from the International Society of Photographic art, and awarded a medal for special services to the Victorian Association of Photographic societies.
