Our iPhotography 2023 Member Awards have once again been a massive success with a huge number of uploads and votes cast in this year’s photography contest.
Now it’s time to reveal all the finalists and winners.
This year we will be crowning multiple winners in this photography contest. With the addition of new awards in 2023, there’ll be 6 winning members announced today.
Firstly, we’ll be announcing our iPhotography Landscape, Creative, Portrait, Nature and Animal images of the year.
Finally, we’ll be announcing the big winner of the contests – iPhotography’s Photographer of the Year 2023. Our 2023 Photographer of the Year will be walking away with a spectacular bundle, including;
Though the iPhotography tutors selected the shortlists, it was you who voted for the overall winners of this year’s categories.
Our tutors review this year’s uploads and look at aspects of creativity and execution to help them select the shortlisted photographs.
Votes were cast by iPhotography members over 7-day period. They have been checked and verified so without further ado here are the winners…
There have only been 7 previous winners of POTY (Photographer of the Year) so this year’s champion is in a prestigious group.
Though the iPhotography tutors selected the shortlist of 13, it was you who voted for the overall winner of this photography contest.
Our tutors review this year’s uploads and look at development, consistency, creativity, and execution. Photographer of the Year is not about a one-off shot, this is about a selected body of work.
Congratulations to Jayne for being voted by our member community as the iPhotography 2023 Photographer of the Year!
Jayne’s dedication to life behind the camera has allowed her to craft a portfolio of images that stretches across the world in a range of genres.
Though it was her midwest landscape photography that caught the eye this year, her full gallery is an impressive mix of outstanding images.
We are proud to see Jayne pick up the title of Photographer of the Year in a very tightly fought contest which faced her against an impressive shortlist of diverse and talented photographers.
Congratulations to our runners-up…
Everyone who made the shortlist fully deserves their spot for outstanding photography this year. Thank you to everyone who entered and voted in our end-of-year member photography contests.

In 2023 we wanted to honour a very special photographer who has been a part of our community for a number of years. She’s a photographer that not only knows how to capture incredible images, as you’ll see, but also a warm, supportive and encouraging personality.
The iPhotography 2023 Tutor Choice Award goes to Jean Gilmour.
Many of our iPhotography members speak so highly of Jean, her infectious personality and outstanding photography. We regularly see her positive and encouraging comments in the gallery to others.
Her incredible photography makes our tutor feedback fairly straight-forward – it’s 5-stars nearly every time! From beautiful florals, to atmospheric still lifes, Jean’s images is always provoking, dramatic and well-composed.
