Margaret Irving (APSNZ) is based in New Plymouth, Taranaki, New Zealand. She is a member of the Photographic Society of New Zealand (PSNZ) who has awarded her the Distinction of Associate.
One of Margaret's photographs was selected for the prestigious PSNZ publication New Zealand Camera 2006.
Amongst the recent awards is a Bronze Medal in the 2006 National Exhibition (NATEX) which will tour the Country over the next year (Tourex).
Other recent awards include Honours in the Fresh Water Photographic Competition 2006 run by the South Waikato Camera Club and the 14th Annual New Zealand Photojournalism Competition 2005 run by the New Brighton Photographic Club Inc.
Margaret's images appeared in numerous Club sets which achieved 1st and 2nd Nationally over the past 2 years. Margaret belongs to the New Plymouth Photography Club (NPPC), Inglewood Photography Appreciation Group (IPAG) and Stratford Digital Club.
Her goal was to set up a professionally designed website so she could share her award winning photographs with an international audience. The photographs feature a wide range of subjects ranging from Landscapes to Architecture and include Taranaki, New Zealand and International images.
The inspiration behind many of the photographs is the clean green, 100% pure New Zealand environment. New Zealand is full of beautiful scenery with bush forests, clear blue lakes, awesome volcanoes and thermal wonderlands. New Plymouth not only has wonderful coastal scenery but also the magnificent Mount Taranaki which looms majestically over the City.
The images in this website were taken with Nikon cameras and digitally enhanced to present them at their best.
