I’m especially thrilled the judges picked the photograph, as it’s a very subtle image of a smaller scale celebration about to be had. The category is filled with many beautiful large scale celebratory occasions, so it makes the inclusion of my street photograph even more special. Thank you to the judges.
The winning photographs will be announced at the Awards Evening on Tuesday 4 June. This will be followed by the exhibition at the Mall Galleries, in London, from the 5th – 9th June, 2024.
Photographed on a Lumix G9 with a Leica DG 10-25mm Vario-Summilux. Processed on a Mac Studio, using LightRoom Classic and finished in Exposure Software X7, using Eizo CG 276 displays.
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.

A short scrapbook video of the evening at the wonderful BAFTA on Piccadilly in London, for the awards’ ceremony.
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.
