Taylor W Photographic Portrait Prize by Lucy Davies
This book provides a unique opportunity to see an inspiring range of portraits from contemporary photographers selected from over 6,300 submissions. The works included are not only about the subjects - people who appear intriguing, defiant or relaxed - but also reveal the outstanding skills of the photographers, whose intelligence and diligence enables them to capture both 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 from this year's competition, as well as comments and insights from the judges. The 2010 judging panel will comprise of Sandy Nairne, Director, and Terence Pepper, Curator of Photographs at the National Portrait Gallery, London, plus a selection of high-profile figures from the world of photography. The catalogue includes interviews with the prizewinners by Richard McClure that give further insight into the photographers behind the portraits.
Lucy Davies is photography critic and picture editor for the Daily Telegraph. Richard McClure is a freelance journalist.
