PINK LADY FOOD PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

Food is art. Every aspect of it, from its source to its ultimate consumption, has creative beauty. That’s one reason why it’s so Instagram-able.

Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year celebrates the very best in food photography and film from around the world. Professionals and amateurs compete across a broad range of categories that go far beyond the culinary arts, including the politics of food, the selling of food, farming, family, celebrations, and more. There’s even a children’s photography category -- and it’s brilliant.

The Finalists are invited to a magnificent Champagne Taittinger reception at the world-renowned Mall Galleries, in London, followed by a five-day public exhibition.

Since the competition was founded by Caroline Kenyon and her team at The Food Awards Company, in 2011, almost 50,000 images have been submitted from over 60 countries. Pink Lady®, the premium global apple brand, is the main sponsor.

Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year is considered by many to be the most prestigious Awards in the industry.

This year, over 8,000 images were submitted from 60 countries. A panel of judges, led by internationally-renowned food photographer David Loftus, selected 25 winners across a variety of categories.
