Print Portfolio
RPS Digital Imaging
The DI Print Portfolio 2025 is not a competition as such, but an opportunity to enjoy a varied selection of the best images from RPS DI Members.
The final selection was made at the DI AGM on 23rd February 2025. You can watch a recording of the selection here:
The selectors
Sue O'Connell
"I've been a keen traveller all my life - the further and remoter the better - Colombia and Angola being recent destinations. But my work doesn't really fit the narrow definition of travel photography, and I enjoy a wide range of genres including wildlife, landscapes, documentary, abstracts, but above all, photographing people. Between travels I am a frequent speaker and judge on the photographic circuit, often teaming up with my husband, Peter Brisley.
"I regularly enter salons and competitions, finding them a good incentive to put some effort into post production(!) and am lucky enough to have won awards in 'Travel Photographer of the Year' (four times), 'Food Photographer of the Year' and 'USA Landscape Photographer of the Year'.
"The print is hugely important for me and I am proud to been accepted in The London Salon and PAGB Masters of Print, as well as having prints in exhibitions at the Royal Geographical Society, RPS House and Photokina Germany.
"Over the years I have become increasingly involved in judging, which I find enormously rewarding. I am a member of the WPF Associateship panel, and this year was honoured to be a selector for Masters of Print. I am also a member of the WCPF Judge Training team."

"Photography is more than just a hobby; it is a passion.
"Home is at the end of a muddy lane in the depths of the New Forest. It was here that the photography bug took hold just as the digital revolution was taking off.
"My photographic journey is a familiar one of camera clubs, competitions etc. enjoying some success along the way. In 2010 I gained my Associateship with a panel of toned digital infra-red photographs, presented as “miniatures”, at a time, unlike now, when very few people were experimenting with the format.
Prior to this I had spent several years working at an internationally renowned performing arts company albeit in an admin role. To observe how the “greats” from the world of theatre, music, art and design worked, their passion, dedication and refusal to accept nothing less than perfection left an indelible mark in a way I could never have imagined at the time. Little wonder then I don’t regard myself as a prolific worker!
"My photography and photographic interests continue to evolve. Today ever-increasing amounts of time are being devoted to nature and wildlife and whilst I enjoy documentary and street photography it’s hard to get the practise in living where I do! And my love of infra-red lives on too."

"I picked up a camera again after many years absence roughly 12 years ago, retirement had allowed me to immerse myself in photography. My great passion is taking photographs of dancers to show their elegance and to capture the wonderful shapes that they make. I also work with models and enjoy creating portraits both in the studio and on location.
"My composite images are created in Photoshop, and I have recently been experimenting with AI generated backgrounds for some of my images. While the use of AI is prohibited in competitive photography, I find it interesting to explore its potential - who knows what developments there may be in the future? I am a member of the Bristol Photographic Society and also belong to a Bristol-based art collective and local art trails, exhibiting my work through them.
"In the last two years my pictures were exhibited at the Royal West of England Academy (RWA). My images have also been successful in both the Digital Imaging and Visual Art Groups."
