Judge Favourites: Emotion in Images

Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year encompasses a range of genres of food photography across an array of different categories. With categories ranging from Food Stylist Award, through to World Food Programme Food for Life, Fujifilm’s Award for Innovation to Politics of Food, there is something for every kind of photographer.

Our judging panel is carefully crafted to maintain an incredible wealth of knowledge and experience. Chaired by David Loftus, our panel range from photographers and magazine editors to creative directors and film directors, to food retailers and chefs.

Each year, Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year is delighted to learn so much from the wealth and knowledge of our judges. In this series, we wanted to share with you some of our judges’ favourite images, and what has really stood out to them in the competition so far.

 

This time, we are joined by Maria Gracia Subercaseaux, Photographer and Communicator and one of our judges from Chile.

We asked Maria to look back at some of our 2021 Finalists and share with us those images that stood out to her.

'Photography is light, it is telling a story, it is composition and it is emotion... And in these great pictures, you can find all of that.'
