THE DEADLINE FOR “2011 UNFORGETTABLE FACES” Portrait Photography Contest is January 3rd, 2012.
“Taking the step from being a photographer to a “working” photographer can be a big leap, and as artists ourselves, we’ve been there. What is ultimately needed to move a career forward – access to a great subject, working with experienced hair/make-up/wardrobe, top tier production tools and the ability to have your work published and seen in a great platform – can seem out of reach for many. We can amend that.
Like most contests, we’ll be offering all kinds of great prizes courtesy of our sponsors, but it’s the opportunity given to one selected photographer that we’re most proud of. In January 2012 the winning photographer will be flown to Los Angeles, California for a fully-financed celebrity photo shoot and the results of which will be published in The Lab Magazine No.5, on stands worldwide in March 2012.”

Pink Lady® Food Photographer of the Year is inspired by the proliferation of wonderful food photography in a huge variety of applications. From eye-catching advertising hoardings, to sumptuous editorial features, from tempting food packaging to daily blogs. The Awards celebrate this magnificent diversity in what is truly, the stuff of life.
The Awards seek to single out not only technical skill, but originality of treatment and a real sense of connection with the subject matter whatever it may be. Whether simply an apple on a plate, a cake of spun sugar, a baker covered in flour at four in the morning, or a pot simmering on an open fire in the African bush.
“We are looking for professional and amateur alike, in our search for the very best depictions of this marvellously varied subject of food, which unites us all.”
An evening reception to announce the winners will be held in April 2012 at the world-renowned Mall Galleries in London, SW1.
The winners of each category and the runners up will have their work shown in an exhibition open to the public from Wednesday 25th until Saturday 28th April 2012.
