Surrounded by plumes of steam and golden light, this street food cook is engrossed in his work. The atmospheric photograph was taken by Debdatta Chakraborty of a kebab seller in a backstreet of Srinagar, in Indian-administered Kashmir. The sizzling, colourful picture is so evocative, you can almost smell it. 

The image is the overall winner of the Pink Lady Food Photographer of the Year, which picks the best gastronomic picks from over thousands of entries from more than 60 countries across the world.

Photographs taken by the 2022 finalists will go on display at The Royal Photographic Society in Bristol from November 20 to December 12 2022. Until then though, take a look at some of our favourites:
