Turns out chasing caramel through the mountains of Colombia was a good career move.
My photograph from Antioquia, Colombia was named runner-up in the Food category at the National Geographic Traveller UK Photography Competition 2026.
The image shows Yeison making sugar-cane caramel over a wood fire, which is exactly the kind of slow, sticky, deeply human food story I’m always happiest chasing.
My finalist photo is currently on display in King’s Cross! Pinch me.
The winning and shortlisted images are on display around Granary Square and King’s Cross until 12 July, so if you’re in London, go and have a wander.
Mine is the one smelling of caramel.
Huge thanks to the National Geographic Traveller UK team and judges, and to everyone who made last night feel so special. and the rest of the team.
And congrats to all the finalists and winners!! 🥳
