Plate! St James’s

 

Exhibition of world’s best food photography
Inspires new London festival celebrating food and photography

An exhibition of the finalist images of this year’s Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year, the world’s leading celebration of food photography and film, is premiering at the Mall Galleries, London. The free-to-enter exhibition runs from 5th - 9th June and has been named one of the best photography exhibitions to see in 2024.

From growing, farming, harvesting, to cooking, eating, celebrating and surviving, this smorgasbord of images tells the stories of lives across the world through the universal language of food.
