NIKON SCHOOL SHUTS IN LONDON
The educational arm of Nikon Northern
Europe has closed its physical presence
on Margaret Street in Central London, UK.
The Nikon School is permanently shut, but
Nikon will continue to deliver content from
world-renowned photographers online.
http://www.nikon.co.ukIt’s the food photography and film
competition that we look forward to
drooling over each year: Pink Lady Food
Photographer of the Year is back, and 2021 marks
its 10th anniversary.
Since its inception in 2011, the competition
has attracted over 70,000 entries from nearly 80
countries worldwide, with winning images that not
only celebrate stunning food shots and masterful
skills, but a great sweep of stories, cultures,
festivals and even farming communities.
The competition is launching a new category
for its 10th anniversary: the Claire Aho Award.
In memory of Claire Aho, 1925-2015, Finland’s
greatest female photographer, this particular award
will celebrate women in photography.
Also marking the milestone year is the launch
of an ambassadors’ panel that includes the chef
and global icon of gastronomic art, Ferran Adrià,
president of elBullifoundation.
