It’s been an absolutely delightful week, first with the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year awards’ ceremony, which took place at BAFTA on Piccadilly in London on May the 16th. This wonderful evening was followed by the exhibition’s opening at the Royal Photographic Society in Bristol, on May the 20th.
I’m thrilled to share that one of my images made it into the finals and received a Highly Commended award. My thanks to the judging panel, the organising team, the sponsors and partners.
The selected photograph was taken at a cafe, whilst visiting with a close friend. It illustrates how crucial it is to always have a camera to hand (smartphones don’t count in my opinion). When travelling super light, I always have my smallest camera with me; the very capable Lumix LX100m2, which has a great lens, fast aperture and good sensor, carried in a Bellroy Sling. So, ahead of tucking into the cakes and coffees we had bought, I just had to make a series of photographs, my favourite of which is the awarded recipient above.
As always, I shoot raw. The raw file was processed in Lightroom Classic on a Mac Pro, using a calibrated Eizo CG monitor. The monochrome finishing was done in Exposure Software’s X7.
