Last night I attended the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2013 at the Mall Galleries in London. It was a well attended evening with prizes presented by food critic, journalist and MasterChef judge, Jay Rayner. David Loftus, Jamie Oliver’s photographer, and chef Bill Granger were also there.
There were more than 5,500 entires from all over the world and I think the standard of work was even higher than last year. I had been selected in three categories, each of which featured seven images. I’m delighted to say that I scooped first prize in the Philip Harben Award for Food in Action category with the image above.
It was taken at about 5.30 a.m. near the morning fish market in Yangon. The shot is of a lady preparing dosa rice flour pancakes on three charcoal stoves.
The exhibition is open to the public at The Mall Galleries, London SW1 from Wednesday 24th – Sunday 28th April 2013.
I was also selected for the Food in the Street and Food in its Place categories.
While in London I stayed at the Mecure London Bridge, a great hotel in an outstanding location close to the river and Borough Market.

Well done mate, I think I’ll take up pottery! Hope the weather stays well behaved for the rest of your trip. Really good to see you both, hopefully less than 10 years ’til we meet up again.
