    Pensthorpe Millennium Garden by Linda Gower Silver Medal Winner 2024



    The Judges:

    Polina Plotnikova's favourite photography subjects are flowers, still life, and also capturing impressions when travelling. She has attained both FRPS and an EFIAP photography distinctions and a number of photographic awards, including eight Gold and Silver Gilt medals at the RHS photography competitions, category winner of Food Photographer of The Year competition, various distinctions at each of the International Garden Photographer of The Year competitions, and multiple medals and distinctions awarded by various Photography Salons. She also is proud to be a member of the Arena Photographers group and delighted to be one of the judges for Royal Horticultural Society Photography Competition/portfolio category.

    Paul Debois is a multi award-winning photographer. He was a category winner in Kew Gardens’ 2004 Garden Writers annual competition. He has also taken the Motoring Writers’ Guild Motoring Photographer of the Year on four separate occasions. In 2008 he took two prizes in the International Garden Photographer of the Year for a portfolio of images called Pinhole Impressions. In 2009 he won first prize in the people category in the same competition, with an image called ’43 Gardeners’ Hands.’ His work has also appeared in many lifestyle titles, books, company reports and PR presentations and many motoring publications. He continues to exhibit work regularly and is also a Judge for the prestigious RHS Portfolio Competition.

    Arabella St John Parker, Freelance journalist, writer, editor, and editorial consultant is our third RHS Judge. Arabella's first camera was a very basic pocket film camera which she thought was the bee's knees at the time, although the pictures that she took with it were shocking. Her current camera is very much an entry-level digital SLR but her eye for a good shot has somewhat improved and gardens, landscapes, plants and architecture are her preferred subject matter.

    Arabella's passion for reading and writing and her keen interest in the arts led her to study History of Art and thereafter, to enter the world of publishing, working first, for several years, as an editorial assistant for a non-fiction and art books imprint of Phaidon Press before moving into newspaper and then magazine journalism.

    As Managing and later Deputy Editor of Country Homes & Interiors magazine, and later still, as the Houses & Gardens Editor of Homes & Gardens magazine and today, as a freelance journalist specialising in gardens and interiors and as the freelance, part-time editor of Garden Design Journal, Arabella continues to work closely not only with writers and stylists but also with photographers, to create stories where the nature, look and quality of the imagery is as important as the text when it comes to conveying the magic, the emotion and the facts of a piece.

    Arabella won IPC Media's Best Commissioned Photography award twice, in separate years, for gardens, seasons, plants, and interior design stories which she devised and directed for Homes & Gardens, and many of her early shoots were done with the photographer using film, not digital cameras.
