The winner of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize was announced last night.
Paul Floyd Blake took the top prize for his portrait of 13-year-old swimmer Rosie Bancroft, who hopes to compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games.
Blake says, “She had just swum a personal best in her event and I think that’s why she has such a confident, self-assured look in the portrait.”
You can see Blake’s photo and the best of the other entries in a free exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery from tomorrow.
