Photo of Steaming Hot Buns Wins Food Photographer of the Year
A photograph taken in a rural area of China showing a woman making a huge portion of dim sum has won the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2024.
The image was taken by Zhonghua Yang during busy preparations for a feast for the Spring Festival, also known as the Lunar New Year. This includes the tradition of making dim sum, such as red bean dumplings, steamed rice cakes, and glutinous rice cakes, each of which has a legacy of traditional craftsmanship.
Yang’s photo also took first place in the Champagne Taittinger Food for Celebration category. There were 36 categories in total and below are some of the winners.
“Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year continues to tell important food stories from across the globe through the very best photography,” says Phil Turnbull, CEO of APAL, owner of Pink Lady® and headline sponsor of the Awards.
“Despite the challenges of an ever-changing world, we never cease in growing, gathering, cooking, eating and celebrating with food. Each year, the remarkable photographs serve as a reminder of the fundamental role of food in every culture and every people around the world.”
An exhibition of all the finalist images will be shown at the Mall Galeries, London from June 5 to June 9. To see the full gallery of winners head to the competition’s website.
