Food Photographer of the Year 2016

Oozing cheese toasties, fiery hot kitchens and impressive baking displays - see the winners of this year's Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year competition.

With plumes of flour jumping high into the air, this image of a baker kneading dough has, says food critic and chairman of the judges Jay Rayner, "a lovely structural element to it".

"It's a scene that gives you the smell of the bakery before the ovens are turned on."

Rayner and nearly 40 other judges decided the photo - by Mark Benham - should be the overall winner of the competition.

"In the end, it normally comes down to three or four photos which particularly arouse opinion. It's down to the content - do they speak to the question of food? And how well do they tell their own stories?"
