" The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize returns to the Gallery in St Martin’s Place after three years." I didn't know it had moved! If you were thinking of entering - it's too late, "The call for entries has now closed." But I suppose those of you who live nearby can drop in on the exhibition and vote for the People's Pick Winners. Anyway, thought I'd start a thread ready for when it's been judged and people want to praise/moan about the entries/winner.  |

Far too smiley for the TW, Kate. Though possibly ginger enough...

It's not just the depressing image to be created, because you would also have to create a meaningful (?) supporting document to explain your motivation/personal journey/troubled life/etc,. I would be tempted to write something completely fictitious and see what happened. |

Are you of the opinion that previous successful images have all had a truthful narrative What I have noticed is that previous winners have apparently submitted a portfolio of images along with the usual 'deep' narrative showing how unusual the images are and the person behind them. East European or war zone preferred. |

Oh dear, what a shame. I had the very one ready to enter. Oh how I lie... ap sarah 2 by Kate Ferris, on Flickr It need the obligatory supporting essay. Perhaps a loved pet has just been run over by a 10 year old boy driving a stolen 4x4 at 150 mph whilst using his smartphone to make a video of his journey towards manhood, and the pet was last seen flattened on the front of the vehicle just before it crashed into a family walking on the pavement. Although, in this scenario, the TW judges would probably me much more impressed by a picture of the young driver with his head through the windscreen, and an essay about his inner turmoil and how society has failed him and hence is completely to blame. |

I reckon they pick the shortlist based on how much money has been passed over with entries. Ha!
