WILDLIFE & LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER Hi, my name is Arielle Smith-Lamb, I am an amateur wildlife and landscape photographer with Autism and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), who volunteers as a porter at a local hospital with the local ambulance service. Living in Jarrow, I use photography and nature walks to manage FND symptoms and have a unique perspective due to Autism. I treasure a Praktica MTL-5B 35mm film camera that was inherited from my late grandfather, who was an avid photographer. I have since acquired several digital cameras, of which two have been passed on to young family members interested in photography. My work has been recognised in competitions, including awards such as Landscape Photographer of the Year 2025 at Bridgeport Art Centre in Chicago, Ultimate Exhibition Shot 2025, and Nature Photographer of the Year 2024 at The Coningsby Gallery in London.
