Shoot the Chef is Fairfax's annual competition that combines Australia's passion for food and photography.
The competition is open nationally as part of this year's Good Food Month.
Everyone is welcome to pick up their camera and tackle the challenge - whether it's your hobby, your field of study or your passion.
The brief is simple: shoot a chef (or your interpretation of one!). It can be a three-hat chef, your favourite short-order cook or just a talented kid in the kitchen.
