Praying with Food, breaking a day-long fast at a Hindu temple in Dhaka, taken by Bangladeshi photographer Noor Ahmed Gelal, has seized this year’s crown at Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2018, the world’s leading celebration of the art of food photography and film.

Overall Winner: Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year: Noor Ahmed Gelal, Bangladesh. Praying with Food. Breaking the fast in congregation.

With more than 8000 images entered from 60 countries, the awards is the largest of its kind in the world.

“Noor’s shot stood out from the rest in its category, however, for the way in which he made the subject matter so fascinating and distinctive,” said Andy Macdonald, head of Pink Lady in the UK. Gelal took home a £5,000 prize.

Martin Parr, one of the world’s great social documentary photographers, was also presented with the Outstanding Achievement Award by Frances Morris, Director, Tate Britain.

The judging panel this year, chaired by internationally-renowned food photographer David Loftus, included Emily Luchetti, Chair of the James Beard Foundation, NYC, culinary superstar Ferran Adria, Wajmar Yaqubi, Global Photo Director, Buzzfeed, and his Excellency Ali Bin Thalith, Secretary General, HIPA.
