These are images captured around the world that awaken our senses.
The contest Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year 2022, a major food photography competition, revealed its winners this Wednesday.
According to its organizers, thousands of images from more than 60 countries.
The selected ones were announced in a live event broadcast online.
The overall winner of the competition was photographer Debdatta Chakraborty, a native of India.
The image you submitted is titled Kebabiyana and shows a street vendor preparing various skewers in front of a smoky oven in Srinagar, also in India.
Chakraborty took the photo on a busy street as vendors lit up charcoal ovens at night.
“In today’s world, more than ever, we feel the need for comfort, for love,” said Caroline Kenyon, founder and director of the awards.
“There is much that calms us here: the billowing embrace of the beautifully captured smoke, the golden light, the expression of the subject as he prepares the meal to share. Sparks fly from the skewers, whose roasting we can almost smell. We imagine the warm and delicious aroma”, he added.
We share some of the winners of the contest categories, with descriptions of the photographers.
