The National Portrait Gallery is currently hosting the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize winning entries. The competition had a lot of entries I think it was well over six thousand. The exhibition contains sixty contemporary photos taken by amateurs and professionals of all ages and backgrounds. The photos within the exhibition have all been taken by the artists whilst exploring some really interesting themes.
The top image is of the winning entry by David Chancellor entitled Huntress with a Buck. This image does conjure up the feeling of it being a great photography shot but then again I am struggling to understand the appeal to it that obviously the judges saw. I had the same feeling with many of the images within the exhibition they all seemed a little cliched with similar subjects and themes. All the images had been taken beautifully but my main criticism would be that they didn't feel original or shocking enough.
