JANE NORMAN 

 

 

 

Jane Norman, BA (Hons), MA, is a photojournalist who has worked in the Far East and the UK, after studying photography at West Surrey College of Art & Design, Farnham.

​

Based in Dorset, her forte is photographing people of all ages, people and their pets, whether they are cats, dogs, hamsters or Show Champion at the Gillingham & Shaftesbury Show - capturing the everyday, to life's celebrations. Her images have been described as 'emotive, enlightening and fun'.

​

People may recognise her work from Blackmore Vale Magazine, and its sister publication, Stour & Avon Magazine where she was photographer for more than ten years, photographing everything from 106th birthdays to Royal visits to county events - whatever the weather. Sadly, the publications folded in 2020 due to Covid.

​

Some of her recent (and continuing) work includes projects with The Society of Dorset Men, Dorchester Community Church Food Share project, Claire Myers Pilates, the West Dorset Vintage Tractor & Stationary Engine Club, and Art in Poundbury - photographing artists, behind the scenes at their exhibitions, as well as creating the group's exhibition posters.

​

She's also one of a group of four art friends who have set up Dorset Art Girls - where they plan to exhibit their very different work together, inspired by and created in Dorset - bringing in other seasoned and new-to-the-scene artists to show their work too.

​
