Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize - National Portrait Gallery, London
I visited the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition recently and the National Portrait Gallery in London. The standard of the entries was very high. I have included in this blog the three photos that I found the most inspiring.

| "Huntress" by David Chancellor |
This picture is of a 14 year old American girl on her first hunt in Africa. The photographer says about the picture: "Contrast between the peace and tranquillity of the location, plus Josie's ethereal beauty and the dead buck, was what I wanted to explore. Here was a vulnerability and yet also strength". I particularly liked the quality of the light and the stillness of the model.

| "Merel" by Clare Shilland |
This photograph was shot near to the model's home in Antwerp by Clare Shilland for an exhibition titled Girls! Girls! Girls! I liked that the models hair tones with grass in the background and that there are no clothes to distract the viewer.

| "Wafa" by Felix Carpio |
This photograph is a portrait of a young girl in Beirut. I found the colours of the image and the apparent confidence of the model appealing.
