Latest works by Ranfurly photographer Janyne Fletcher will be revealed from today.


Her exhibition called New Outlooks opens to the public today, which marks the first time she has hosted such an event since opening her gallery in 2016.



There will be about 15 works on display, all of which are new to her collection.


She describes her works as a contemporary take on the Maniatoto landscape.



“We are all really familiar with Maniatoto landscapes through the good work of photographers and artists, but I guess I have my own interpretation,” she said.


Janyne, who was awarded NZIPP Landscape (Open) Photographer of the Year for the second consecutive year, is looking forward to revealing new work from her award winning portfolios. 


“I have been busy printing and framing this work and tucking it away,” she said.


“I’m quite excited about my own work because it’s developed in quite a new way of viewing this area.”



Janyne’s work is well known for presenting a different view of the iconic geography of the province. 


"It has been a big seven years since the gallery opened and part of the reason I wanted to have this exhibition was as a thank you to all of the locals who have supported me.”

The support of people close to her is high on Janyne’s list of reasons for her ongoing success and she wants to thank all of the people who have helped her over the years, including her family and especially her partner Deane, she said.


Some of Janyne’s work will also be featured in the Blue Sky Perspectives art exhibition run by Arts in the Maniatoto on December 2-3. 


“I am excited about revealing a new signature piece at this exhibition and having my work displayed alongside other talented local artists,” she said.


Her exhibition, New Outlooks, will run from November 18-29 at her gallery on Charlemont St, Ranfurly.
