Photography review: Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize

 

National Portrait Gallery | ★★★★☆

 

The National Portrait Gallery’s immensely popular Taylor Wessing portrait prize exhibition is back. This week it was announced that the winning image was fashion photographer David Titlow’s atmospheric portrait of his baby son interacting with a dog. The judges selected the image from over 4,000 submissions from 1,793 photographers. 

 

Second prize went to a picture of a young skateboarder girl from Afghanistan, and third to a portrait of two nine-year-old Estonian twins. All the shortlisted works are now on show at the National Portrait Gallery until February next year.
