National Portrait Photography Short List



The short list for the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2012 have been announced.  I made an effort to enter the competition this year but, understandably, failed to make the final cut.  I completely misjudged the criteria for this competition but will try again next year using articles like this blog for research.

After yesterday's somewhat text heavy blogpost I've kept today's much more viewer friendly.  Enjoy the images, all taken from the short-list, and see if you can pick the winner - it will be announced on 5th November.  My personal favourite is the last image shown below:
