I laid my eyes now on another renowned competition. This time it is a portrait photography competition - the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize organized by the National Portrait Gallery.
This prestigious international competition, has established a reputation for its diversity of photographic styles, encompassing editorial, reportage and fine art images submitted by a range of photographers, from gifted amateurs and photography students to professionals.
In the Prize's search for excellence, photographers are encouraged to interpret 'portrait' in its widest sense of 'photography concerned with portraying people with an emphasis on their identity as individuals.'
Since this is how I would exactly describe my approach to portrait photography and I dare to claim that I have a few portraits that would definitely fit into the style and spirit of the competition, I am very excited about its outcomes.
To view previous winners, please visit the site below. I am very fond of all the featured portraits. My favourite is "Bag" by Hendrik Kerstens.
Enjoy.
