The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize celebrates the vitality and excellence in portrait photography today. This Prize is one of the most important platforms for contemporary portrait photographers internationally, and sixty stunning reproductions of the selected works provide an excellent overview of current photographic styles, trends and techniques. This book provides a unique opportunity to see an inspiring range of portraits from contemporary photographers selected from thousands of submissions. The works included are not only about the subjects people who appear intriguing, defiant or relaxed but also reveal the outstanding skill of the photographers, whose intelligence and diligence enable them to capture a moment in time, and to convey something of the spirit of those photographed. Fully illustrated in colour throughout, the book features all the selected entries, comments and insights from the judges, interviews with the prizewinners and a contribution by an international photographer.

Whether the photographer captures his subject in the moment or whether the image has been meticulously planned, it is a sense of honed vision that most strikes --The Times 4 star review from Rachel Campbell-Johnston
More illuminating are curious images of people at work...they show how reportage blurs into portraiture, when the emphasis is placed on the human subject. --The Telegraph 3 star review from Christian House
there are many gems in the 50 photographs here. Peter Zelewski s close-up portrait of Nyaueth, a woman he encountered in a London street, draws you in from across the room; Felix Friedman s portrait of his baby son sleeping on a table is immediate and tender; and Sarah Lee s shot of a man glimpsed through a rain-drenched chip-shop window has a peculiar pathos. --Evening Standard 3 star review for Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize by Ben Luke
