Photographer Fay Godwin, one of the UK’s most acclaimed landscape and portrait photographers, has died at 74.<\/p>\n

Godwin was known for her images of the British countryside as well as portraits of authors such as Ted Hughes and Doris Lessing.<\/p>\n

Born in Berlin in 1931, Godwin settled in London in her late 20s.<\/p>\n

Paul Hill, professor of photography at De Montfort University, Leicester, and a friend, said she died in Hastings, East Sussex, after a short illness.<\/p>\n

“Fay Godwin’s photographs were about the real world and real people, but imaginatively transformed and enhanced by a sensitive, perceptive and often ironic and critical eye,” Prof Hill said.<\/p>\n

Godwin won a string of prestigious awards for her work after becoming interested in photography while taking photos of her children.<\/p>\n

She was awarded an honorary fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 1990 and had a major retrospective at the Barbican Centre in London in 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
