Mark says he uses natural light where he can.<\/p>\n<p>Restaurant critic Jay Rayner who chaired the judging panel said Mark\u2019s shot of a baker kneading dough has \u2018a lovely structural element to it\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u2018In the end, it normally comes down to three or four photos which particularly arouse opinion.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018It\u2019s down to the content \u2013 do they speak to the question of food?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018And how well do they tell their own stories?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Mark, who switched to photography after a career as a graphic designer, received his award at a ceremony held at the Mall Galleries in London attended by 400 guests.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s judging panel included <em>Amateur Photographer<\/em> Editor Nigel Atherton and photography dealer Chris
