Taking up photography has provided purpose to Angi Wallace’s days as she deals with the challenges of a long-term health condition.
Angi, who lives in North Shields, worked as a nurse and led an active outdoors life of hiking and climbing before being diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) The condition limits her mobility but the camera she was given as a Christmas present has been key to her developing a positive frame of mind.
Her growing expertise, which partly focuses on her love of nature and plants, has seen her carry off a batch of awards in prestigious competitions over the last four years. Her latest successes have come in the International Garden Photographer of the Year awards, which are supported by the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew.
