PORTRAIT OF ASPIRING PARALYMPIAN WINS THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY'S TAYLOR WESSING PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT PRIZE 2009
The 2009 Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize has been won by Paul Floyd Blake, 37, for his portrait of 13 year old swimmer, Rosie Bancroft who hopes to compete in the 2012 Paralympic Games. The portrait of the teenager, who had her right foot removed when she was ten months old, was taken in a swimming pool changing room in her hometown of Oxford. Blake says ‘Rosie was competing throughout the day and there was only a short window when I could take the picture. 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'.
This is the second year that Taylor Wessing has sponsored the Prize. The judges selected 60 portraits for the exhibition from over 6,300 submissions entered by 2,452 photographers from around the world.
The exhibition, which is free to attend, will run from November 5th - February 14th at the National Portrait Gallery.
