Overall winner Category: Overall winner and Food for the Family supported by the Felix Project Photographer: Xiaoling Li/World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi® Title: The Elderly Having Delicious Food Photographer's description: In an early spring afternoon in Shuangliu Ancient Town, Sichuan Province, China, five elderly ladies in their eighties sit together. Wearing colourful jackets and wool hats, they happily eat the famous Sichuan snack 'Spring rolls’. A wrap of thin homemade dough, filled with cucumber, carrot and shredded scallions, drizzled with green mustard, Sichuan pepper, red oil, sweet sauce, and sprinkled with sesame seeds. They are “setting up a Dragon Gate formation” - an expression used in China to refer to neighbourhood friends coming together to chat, gossip and share stories. Food makes these people happy; they enjoy a beautiful and joyful life. Bring Home the Harvest Category: Bring Home the Harvest Photographer: Chang Jiangbin/World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi® Title: Net Fish in Water Fields Photographer's description: After the rice harvest, the river water filled the paddy fields, and at some point, some fish from the river ended up here too. After school, the two children went to the field together to catch fish with their covers. Approaching quietly, leaping vigorously, and pouncing towards the target. Champagne Taittinger Food for Celebration Category: Đặng Hoài Anh Photographer: Champagne Taittinger Food for Celebration Title: Banh Hoi Cake Photographer's description: Banh hoi is a specialty dish in Vietnam found in many places such as Binh Thuan, Vung Tau, Ben Tre, Phu Yen, Nha Trang and Binh Dinh. The cake is made from rice flour and has an elaborate and meticulous preparation process. Banh hoi is often eaten with scallion oil, roasted meat, grilled meat and pork offal. This is an indispensable dish in holidays, death anniversaries, weddings, and ceremonies at communal houses and pagodas of the people. It is a culinary culture of the locality. Claire Aho Award for Women Photographers Category: Claire Aho Award for Women Photographers Photographer: Lizzie Mayson/World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi® Title: Delfina, A Pasta Granny Photographer's description: This is Delfina, I took her portrait as part of a bigger project documenting pasta grannies in Italy. Here, we are in the region of Lazio. On the bed is an angel hair type of pasta called Fieno di Canepina. It is technically very hard to make: Delfina rolls the pasta out, flicks a huge piece the size of the table out like a bed sheet, folds it concertina style, then slices it up finely. The best part is that she makes this huge amount then delivers it to the local church where they cook it up and feed homeless people. Cream of the Crop Category: Cream of the Crop Photographer: Dorien Paymans/World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi® Title: Flour Swirl Photographer's description: Part of the series ‘Perfectly Imperfect’ where I captured the process of baking sourdough bread while incorporating the symbolism of the Japanese Ensō sign (imperfect circle). Preparing food and photography are both mindful activities where calmness and creativity exist in the moment of creation. This makes the combination of both so magical. Overall Winner of Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year Category: Overall Winner of Errazuriz Wine Photographer of the Year (and People sub-category) Photographer: Heather Daenitz/World Food Photography Awards sponsored by Bimi® Title: Pinot Noir at Midnight Photographer's description: Under the glow of a tractor’s lights, vineyard workers handpick Pinot Noir in the cool, misty midnight air at Sanford & Benedict Vineyard in Sta. Rita Hills, an American Viticultural Area (AVA)
