2015 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize: Prizewinner
Proud, honoured and overwhelmed to have my portrait of ‘Nyaueth’ selected for inclusion and chosen as a prizewinner in this year’s Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize at the National Portrait Gallery. This year there were 4,929 prints entered from 2,201 photographers worldwide making this award a real honour for me and a wonderful recognition of my photography. Massive thanks goes out to my sitter Nyaueth for allowing me to make this portrait of her and to all the photographers who offered their support and guidance for which I am very grateful. The prize winning places will be announced at the awards ceremony at the National Portrait Gallery on 10 November with the exhibition running from 12 November to the 21 February 2016.
