The Way Through the Woods – MPB award for innovation
(highly commended)The photographer says: ‘The moment I saw brown shimeji mushrooms, I had to buy them. Juxtaposed with my miniature figures that stand just 3/4 inch tall, I thought they looked like woods. To introduce mood and drama I used a black backdrop. The lighting was the trickiest part, but I had fun experimenting’

Delfina, a Pasta Granny – Claire Aho award for women photographers (first prize)
‘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 bedsheet, folds it concertina-style, then slices it up finely’
