FOOD & TRAVEL


This category celebrates photography that tells a story from any stage of the culinary journey from field to fork. Perhaps scenes of fishing or a harvest, chefs busy at work at a street-food stall or vendors selling their produce at a local market.


FOOD & TRAVEL • RUNNERS-UP


Bernard Kuhn Koh Dach Island near Phnom Penh, Cambodia THE PHOTOGRAPHER SAID: On the way back


from a visit to the silk community of Koh Dach Island, the sight of rows of yellowish skins hanging on the roadside caught my attention. I stopped and entered a workshop where local workers produce bean curd skins, a popular food item in China, Japan and Korea. Ta Be, pictured, boils soy milk in shallow pans. The film of skin, which forms on the top, is removed and dried. The rising smoke in the rays of light and Ta Be, dressed in a sarong, really highlighted the difficult conditions in which he’s working. Instagram: @bernardkuhn70


THE JUDGES SAID: The light streaming in through the windows creates a beautiful chiaroscuro, illuminating the scene. In a very elegant manner, this man delicately peels the skin off the tofu, crafting soy strings. The moody, high contrast lighting is what makes this photo truly shine.


JOSHUA PAUL AKERS Seoul, South Korea THE PHOTOGRAPHER SAID: In Davy Chou’s film, Return to Seoul, the protagonist dances in a basement bar. After a lot of research, I discovered it’s a real place where the DJ — a collector with over 20,000 records — plays nightly to a crowd of fashionable hipsters and lovers of obscure music. Despite the ambivalent bartender and lingering smell from the toilet, I loved the retro neon signage and curious mix of customers. Instagram: @joshuapaulakers


JAMES MALONEY Clovelly, Devon THE PHOTOGRAPHER SAID: As the residents engaged in their daily activities and fishermen returned to the harbour to unload their catch, it provided a poignant reminder of the traditions that have defined this fishing community for over seven centuries.
