Witta Priester is a fine arts photographer, experienced judge and lecturer. She has been doing “serious” photography since 2005 and is an active member of four camera clubs, including the Olympic Peaks Camera Club. She successfully competes both nationally and internationally, having won several silver medals.
Witta earned her photographic honors, an Associateship with the Photographic Society of New Zealand (APSNZ) in 2007. Her work is catholic and eclectic, including wildlife, landscape, tabletop, travel, and “whatever comes her way”. She enjoys experimenting — both in-camera and in the digital darkroom — where she often converts her photographs into creative works of art.
Before retiring and focusing on photography, Witta had several careers. She has a Ph.D. in organic chemistry and has worked as a research scientist, as a long-range planner, and as a registered patent agent. Witta is also a single-digit handicapper, who has competed in the USGA’s Women’s Senior Amateur Golf Championship.
