The wait for and with food, in the act of buying and selling it... this is the theme captured in the finalists' photographs in the 'unearthed® Food For Sale' category of the recently announced Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2023 awards. As reported previously by Slurrp, the overall winner is Jon Enoch, a UK-based photographer who submitted a portrait of a candy floss seller from Mumbai for the competition.
'Selling Fish' by Md Mahabub Hossain Khan from Bangladesh took home the first prize in the 'unearthed® Food For Sale' category. It depicts the fish market at Naya Bazaar, where a variety of fresh catch awaits buyers with a ken for seafood.
As part of our ongoing coverage of the Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year 2023, we're taking a look at the seven finalists in this category.
