Jackie Ranken

Australian born, Multi award winning landscape art photographer Jackie Ranken began her photography career at age 16. She is now an International judge and lecturer. Her honoraries are long; but what matters to her is that she is out there photographing and exploring who she is, increasing her skills base and expressing herself through her photography. She considers her ‘art’ to be classic black & white landscape photography, where the 'fine art print' is the most important end result of the photographic process.
