The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, held at the National Portrait Gallery each year, attracts around 7,000 images and is open to professionals and amateurs alike. Now in its seventh year, though this is only the second time it has been sponsored by Taylor Wessing, the ?12,000 prize is a significant award in artistic circles. The level of talent it attracts is consistently high yet the 'open to all' caveat means there's always an element of surprise. Featured here are professional commissions alongside personal portraits, photographs that tell a story, build a mystery, and those that capture simple beauty or terrible ugliness. This is a display of intelligent art, sometimes comic, often deeply moving, in which a very simple project - take a photograph that focuses on one or more human beings - has produced a glorious variety of work. This year's shortlist includes Paul Floyd Blake who photographed Olympic hopefuls including swimmer Rosie Bancroft, capturing her just moments after she had beaten her personal best. Michal Chelbin's image of 'Stas, Sentenced for Murder, Juvenile Prison, Russia 2009' from the series 'Locked' is also among the four photographers shortlisted for the prestigious prize.About National Portrait Gallery
The National Portrait Gallery houses portraits of significant figures from the late 15th century to the present day. This isn't the place to come for serious works of exceptional artistic merit - the overriding aim of the National Portrait Gallery is to reflect the status of the sitter, not the artist - but where else in London could you hope to find The Beatles, Henry VIII, Sir Richard Branson and JK Rowling all hanging out together? The appeal of this gallery (opened in 1856) rests simply in its comprehensive commemoration of British history from the late 15th century to the present day through the medium of portraiture.
