Pink Lady® photography day at hospital school
This October half term, Pink Lady® hosted a special food photography day for the patients and their siblings at the hospital school.
The children had the opportunity to take part in an interactive workshop with the guidance of one of the UK’s top food photographers.
Given only a basket of fresh produce and a box of props, the children worked together to create individual works of art.
Their favourite photos were then entered into the Food Photographer of the Year Awards which was launched by Pink Lady in August and includes a special ‘apple a day’ category in aid of the charity.
Pink Lady® has also donated a collection of bright pink digital cameras to the charity to enable the children to continue with their new-found hobby.
