a message to you from jane .......

after more than 20 years of travelling the world with a medium format camera, a huge tripod and hundreds of rolls of film, being launched into this digital world has been an enormous task of relearning my profession

tackling website design and building is the latest skill I'm trying to get my head round. It's takes so much longer than I ever imagined- apologies for all short-comings. there are many.

professor david bellamy & the international kodak calendar

Jane Gifford was invited to design and photograph the International Kodak Calendar in 1994 after co-authoring and photographing a book with Professor David Bellamy called Wilderness Britain - a greenprint for the future

They wanted to call it Wilderness Britain - a man-made landscape because the paradox was relevant but objections from feminists in the publisher's office prevented this
