Another year, another delicious set of winning shots from the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2023. The prestigious photo comp invites both professional and amateur photographers to submit photos that capture the centrality of food in every culture around the world. This year’s winners range from a Ramadan feast amongst the rubble in Syria’s war-torn Idlib to an opulent royal banquet and a chaotic, colourful spread of decadent desserts.
UK photographer Jon Enoch was crowned this year’s overall winner for his captivating shot entitled ‘The Candy Man’. The photo, below, is a portrait of a street vendor and his hanging rows of hot-pink candy floss, pictured on the streets of western Mumbai.
The exhibition of the 2023 finalists will be premiering at The Royal Photographic Society in Bristol, UK, and runs from May 20 to June 11. If you can’t make it there, we’ve rounded up some of our favourites from the other category winners from this year. Feast your eyes (sorry, couldn’t resist) below.
