Praying with Food, 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. The image
shows a Hindu community breaking a
day-long fast in congregation at one of
the local temples at Swamibag, Dhaka,
Bangladesh. Gelal was presented with
the £5000 prize by Andy Macdonald,
who heads up Pink Lady in the UK,
who commented, "The competition was
fierce, there were 8000 images entered
from 60 countries and the standard was
exceptional. 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."
