The World’s Best Food Photos Unwrapped at the Food Photographer of the Year Awards 2017

It seems every one is an amateur food photographer these days. Though there’s a lot more that goes into a great food photograph than good lighting and a colourful brunch plate, as was demonstrated by winning food photos at Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2017 awards, which celebrated everything from mealtime rituals to the raw beauty of fresh ingredients.

The overall winner, announced at the Judges’ dinner at the Saatchi Gallery, London, was Bangladeshi photographer Shoeb Faruquee for his image ‘Food for God’.

Shoebs image was also the winner of the Food for Celebration category sponsored by Champagne Taittinger.

More than 8,400 photographs were submitted for selection but there were only 30 winning images.

The following images show a number of the other category winners in addition to a selection of judges’ comments.
