Still pinching myself! 🥹
Absolutely thrilled and incredibly grateful to have won the Food Photography Award at the Irish Food Writing Awards last week!
To be recognised alongside such an incredibly talented group of finalists makes this even more special. And to have my work acknowledged by a photographer whose work I’ve admired for so long is honestly such an honour I S S Y C R O K E R 🙏
This award means more to me than I can put into words, especially at a time when the photography industry is changing so rapidly. With the shifting landscape of creative work, it’s not always easy to know what the future holds for photographers.
So to receive this recognition now feels particularly meaningful. It’s a lovely reminder that there’s still value in the human side of photography. The creativity, the storytelling, the little imperfections, the experience, the connection with people and all those hours spent getting an image just right.
To have that passion and hard work recognised means the world to me.
A huge thank you to Irish Food Writing Awards🇺🇦🇵🇸 and everyone who continues to support and value the work of photographers and creatives.
Feeling very lucky, proud and inspired to keep doing what I love 🧡
