Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize 2025

The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize is back at the National Portrait Gallery for its 18th year, showcasing some of the best work by talented amateur photographers and established professionals.
As one of the most prestigious photography competitions in the world, it features a diverse range of images from formal poses to spontaneous moments between family and friends. Entrants are encouraged to interpret the word 'portrait' in its widest possible sense - emphasising a subject's identity as individuals.
Many of the works will be on display for the very first time, and the exhibition will include the stories behind their creation, and an accompanying display called In Focus, which showcases a brand-new work by an established photographer.
