The Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Exhibition, on display at the Edinburgh Food Hall Bonnie & Wild, features almost 200 images from 100 photographers.
The new exhibition of beautiful scenes from across Scotland adorn the walls and multimedia displays of the popular Food Hall, which opened at the St James Quarter to great acclaim in July 2021.
Now in its eight year, the landscape award’s top prize went to Isabella Hillhouse, whose portfolio of three images, titled “Holy Stones”, “Talisker Bay” and “Calm” won the highest score from judges.
The Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year Awards are an annual photography competition launched in September 2014.
Founder Stuart Low said: “These awards aim to reward the talents of the many great photographers who practise photography in Scotland, while also raising awareness of Scotland’s natural heritage and promoting conservation of our landscape.
“The awards, and this exhibition, showcase the beauty and diversity of the Scottish landscape, its coasts, islands and towns and cities, in a collection of beautiful images. I love that through this partnership with Bonnie & Wild we’re bringing these awards to a far greater audience.
“We’ve now opened our 9th awards and I hope this new exhibition will encourage more people to take part, with only a few weeks left for people to enter.”
Bonnie & Wild’s General Manager Kate Russell said: “All of us at Bonnie & Wild are proud to sponsor these fantastic awards, which show off the drama and magnificence of Scotland’s natural beauty. This latest exhibition is a significant increase on our previous show, and I’m sure our guests love these artworks as much as I do!
“Our sponsorship of the Scottish Landscape Photographer of the Year awards underlines Bonnie & Wild’s commitment to truly show off the best of Scotland, whether it’s Scottish food and drink, its chefs and producers, or its beautiful landscapes and photographers through this incredible exhibition.
“Guests can come in, enjoy some beautiful food and drink, and wander around our Food Hall enjoying some spectacular photography of Scotland.”
Competition winner Isabella Hillhouse said: "I was surprised and delighted when I found out I'd won this year's awards! I am very grateful to Bonnie & Wild for providing a space for these awards. I originally hail from Switzerland but have lived in Scotland for some 30 years now and am still thrilled by the landscape here."
The new exhibition at Bonnie & Wild sees a huge step up in production and the biggest images produced for a Scottish landscape photography exhibition.
Installed across the entire venue, award-winners' images now take up entire walls, are seen in rolling video displays, new full height lightboxes, large format prints, and in traditional high-quality, wall-mounted prints.
Running for the entire year, the exhibition will soon provide the facility for visitors to buy prints of the images on display, with profits going to the photographers.
The current exhibition will run until January 2024, with entry to this year’s awards open until February 20th. Entrants are invited to submit their best shots of Scotland via the website https://slpoty.co.uk/
Known for its warm welcome and diverse food offer, Bonnie & Wild is home to a dozen independent Scottish food and drink businesses, including award-winning El Perro Negro, Kochchi, Gary Maclean’s Creel Caught and Jimmy Lee’s Salt & Chilli Oriental, as well as the boutique bottleshop run by Inverarity Morton. On the last Thursday of every month Bonnie & Wild also hosts its famous White Heather Ceilidh Club.
