Taylor Wessing Portrait Awards 2009
Following the success of last year’s competition, the 2009 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize showcases the very best in contemporary portrait photography once again. This year’s awards attracted over 2,400 photographers and 6,300 images with only 60 of those making it to the exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery.
Through editorial, advertising and fine art images, the mix of international entrants have explored a range of themes, styles and approaches to the contemporary photographic portrait, from formal commissioned portraits to more spontaneous and intimate moments capturing friends and family. Featuring many images previously unexhibited, the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2009 represents a unique opportunity to see some of the most exciting contemporary portrait photographers working today.
