FOODFEATURE
Hungry. From Maisie Crow's multimedia production.
The FoodFeature 2017 Award was awarded to Maisie Crow for the multimedia production Hungry, Living with Prader-Willi Syndrome. The jury citation read:
Maisie Crow's work "Hungry" was the clear winner for everyone on the jury. The pictures fit the topic very clearly. Sequences that told a story on their own and at the same time documented powerlessness and anguish in the face of illness. Even without the moving images and music/speech, the photos were moving, haunting and unique in themselves (composition, etc.). Photo reportage that could hardly be better. "
The finalists of the FoodFeature 2017 Award included: Ann-Sophie Deldycke (Belgium), Julia Hoersch (Germany), Maisie Crow, Steven Achiam (Denmark) and Sylvan Mueller (Switzerland).
FOODPHOTO
Recollections. By Carmen Trösser.
The FoodPhoto 2017 Award was awarded to Carmen Trösser for her photo series Recollections. The jury said:
With each individual picture, Carmen Trösser manages to lead the viewer into a remarkable world. In some cases the subjects are very minimal and simple, but through her own quiet type of photography, the viewer is afforded the opportunity to discover the photo's subject for themselves. As the photographer, Carmen Trösser remains in the background and allows the subject to speak for itself. The beauty of the still lifes and details is tremendous, while avoiding becoming too perfect. Life remains the subject without coming across as artificial. Simple, calm, quiet and never obtrusive. Carmen Trösser puts the subject on display but nothing is forced. The simplest food becomes a timeless work of art."
The finalists FoodPhoto 2017 Award included: Carmen Trösser, Poul Ib Henriksen (Denmark), Renè Riis (Denmark-Germany), Stèphane Bahic (France) and Signe Birck (Denmark-USA).
