The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize returns for its 17th year, showcasing the work of talented young photographers, gifted amateurs and established professionals in the very best of contemporary photography.
The competition celebrates a diverse range of images and tells the fascinating stories behind the creation of works, from formal commissioned portraits to more spontaneous and intimate moments capturing friends and family.
The exhibition will also host this year’s In Focus Photographer, Diana Markosian. Since 2015, the In Focus display has showcased new work by acclaimed photographers from around the world. This year, photographs by Diana Markosian from her series and new publication Father (Aperture, 2024) have been selected to be shown alongside works in the exhibition.
The 2024 edition also sees the unveiling of a new work for the Gallery’s Collection, created by 2023’s commission prize winner, Serena Brown.
