“An intimate image full of warmth and humanity”, titled ‘Kebabiyana’, and taken by Indian photographer Debdatta Chakraborty, has won the overall prize of Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2022.

The photograph was taken on Khayyam Chowk, an ordinary Indian street in Srinagar by day that transforms into a buzzing food hub at night, as vendors fire up charcoal ovens and fill the air with the smoky aroma of grilled delights such as wazwan kebabs, the popular Kashmiri street food.

“In today’s world, more than ever, we feel the need for comfort, for love,” commented Caroline Kenyon, the Director and Founder of the Awards. “There is so much to reassure us here – the beautifully captured billowing embrace of the smoke, the golden light, the subject’s expression as he prepares the food for sharing. Sparks fly from the skewers, whose roasting we can almost smell, we imagine the warm, delicious aroma. This image, gentle but powerful, nourishes our soul.”

“Huge global events – war, famine, the end of lockdowns, the revival of the hospitality industry, the chance to celebrate with friends and family again – all these are recorded in the Awards, which show so vividly how food touches every aspect of our lives,” says Phil Turnbull, CEO of APAL, owner of Pink Lady®, and headline sponsor of the Awards since 2011.

Here are some of the category winners.

This tradition means that the New Year will be welcomed with reunion and the coming year will be prosperous.

Celebrating African heritage, fused with a touch of inspiration from French Post-Impressionist artist, Henri Matisse.

These elements are native to our diverse South African culture. ‘At the Table’ is a celebration of the fruits of our freedom.
