Through work I managed to get two tickets to the awards ceremony for Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery. I’m normally not a big fan of museums because I get bored very easily but this was impressive!
Prior to the award ceremony we walked around the gallery and some of the portraits really amazed me. It’s crazy how one picture or painting can capture the whole essence of a persona.
Some of my highlights were the following (excuse the poor quality images, photos weren’t allowed and whipping out my SLR wouldn’t have exactly been discreet):
4000 submissions were entered and the winner was David Titlow for Konrad Lars Hastings Titlow pictured below.
There were plenty more impressive portraits to see but I am not posting them all because that would ruin it! This is an exhibition that I would definitely recommend, go and see it for yourself. The exhibition runs until 22nd of Feb 2015.
