FOOD & TRAVEL
THE ESSENCE OF A DESTINATION CAN BE DISCOVERED BY DIVING INTO ITS FOOD CULTURE. IN THIS NEW CATEGORY, WE WERE LOOKING FOR IMAGES THAT TELL A STORY FROM ANY STAGE OF THE JOURNEY FROM FIELD TO FORK — FROM SCENES OF HARVESTERS, VINTNERS AND FISHERMEN AT WORK TO SHOTS OF MARKETS, SMOKY STREET FOOD KITCHENS AND GRATEFUL DINERS

STALLHOLDERS READY THE CATCH FOR MARKET IN VERACRUZ, MEXICO I took this image early one morning in a warehouse behind Veracruz market — it’s where meat is prepared and deliveries are unloaded, so it’s a hectic place to shoot. It’s a race against time to get everything ready before shoppers arrive, so everyone’s pretty focused — but I spotted this moment of companionship between two men as they gutted fish. When they saw I’d taken their picture, one pointed to the other, uttering one word: ‘brother’. @niccrillyhargravephotography
THE JUDGES SAID
A seemingly simple photograph, the brilliance of this shot lies in the interaction between the two subjects. We feel as if we’re sharing a personal joke and this helps the image feel inclusive and intimate, drawing us into their world.
