Pink Lady Food Photos

I’m travelling back from the UK today after my first visit in almost four years. I’ve been here catching up with friends, drinking the best beer in the world, and attending the ‘Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year’ exhibition as one of the finalists. The image below was selected in the final seven for the ‘Food in the Street’ category. It was taken in Yangon, Myanmar.

The opening night of the exhibition at The Mall Gallery in London was an enjoyable evening with a full house tucking into light bites by the sponsors, Pink Lady Apples and free flow Champagne by Taittinger. Henry Dimbleby, one of the co-founders of Leon Restaurants was on-hand to present the awards in ten categories.

As with any competition the winning images caused a few raised eyebrows, and I was personally surprised to see such a quintessentially European shot scoop the top prize when there were so many intriguing and exotic images in the exhibition. Hats off to the team at Pink Lady Apples for doing such a great job with the show and to One Vision Imaging who printed up the images.

The exhibition now goes on tour around the UK and you can catch it at the BBC Good Food Show NEC Birmingham 13-17 June, at the Ludlow Food Festival 7 – 9 September and the BBC Good Food Show 28 November – 2 December. You can see the finalists on the Pink Lady website. Images are also available for sale.

    Thank you for your compliments on the quality One Vision Imaging printing and framing, good to meet you at the Pink Lady Food Photographer of The Year awards night.

    There certainly were some superb images on display in all categories, I think there will be stiff competition next year as the word spreads on this prestigious event not least when the prize for the overall winner is £5,000.

    No cigar this time Alan but getting selected was reward enough. Thousands entered so to be one of only seven in my category was great. Plus it was the first thing I’ve ever entered so hopefully I’ll have more luck in the future.
