Meet the Member – Kay Roxby

Kay Roxby joined Otley Camera Club three years ago after moving south from Scotland and has become a valued member of the club. Her photography spans wildlife, landscapes and high-speed sporting action, demonstrating both technical skill and an eye for capturing special moments.

Kay is also passionate about using photography to support the local community and has recently produced a fantastic collection of images for Otley Cricket Club.

When asked about her most memorable photograph, there was one image that stood out above all the others:

"The biking one is probably the most memorable photo I've ever taken. It was taken at the 2019 Fort William UCI World Cup and Finn Iles (who eventually came 4th) hit a rut and went over the bars right in front of me. It was taken at a focal length of 26mm on a crop sensor and the bike literally bounced right over my head – a very, very close call!"

Looking through Kay's portfolio, it's easy to see her versatility. From puffins, mountain hares and tiny harvest mice to dramatic sports photography, atmospheric landscapes and stunning nature images, she has an impressive ability to capture both behaviour and emotion.

We're delighted Kay is part of Otley Camera Club and look forward to seeing many more of her photographs in the years ahead.
