A feast for the eyes
These super-talented photographers have been cooking up some spectacular work, and we’ve picked out a menu of their very finest

Li said: “Food makes these people happy, and they enjoy a joyful and beautiful life.” From nearly 10,000 entries submitted from 70 countries, there were 48 UK photographers with finalist images, including the winners of six of the competition’s 25 categories. Susan Lang won the food in the field category with her capture of a litter of free-range Large Black piglets, Britain’s only all-black pig, titled Hogging the Limelight. worldfoodphotographyawards.com 2 Plastic’s not fantastic A bold new exhibition in London this summer – Poisoned Futures? – tackles global environmental issues through the lens of three women photographers – and our favourite shot comes from Gulshan Khan. Her project, Life in Plastic, is about the social cost of waste in South Africa and is a dramatic reportage image of bird scavenging on a deep landfill site in Johannesburg.

It is spread across three sites in Nailsworth, Gloucestershire. hundredheroines.org
