Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize winners announced

The winner of the Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize has been announced.  The winner David Titlow said about his image entitled Konrad Lars Hastings Titlow ‘Everyone was a bit hazy from the previous day’s excess. My girlfriend passed our son to the subdued revellers on the sofa – the composition and back light was so perfect I had to capture the moment.’  The picture was taken after a midsummers celebration.

Titlow is a musician turned fashion and advertising photographer and has been commissioned by the Guardian, Vanity Fair, Esquire, Rolling Stone, and Vice magazine, among other publications.

His portrait wins him £12,000 and will be the feature picture in an exhibition and opens to the public, at the National Portrait Gallery, London, on Thursday.

Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery, called Titlow’s photograph “a fascinating and compelling image.
