One of my favorite galleries in London, the National Portrait Gallery is the proud home of some of the most exquisite examples of the art of portrait. Every year it holds countless wonderful exhibitions. I like BP Portrait Award perhaps even more, because of the extraordinary use of paints and brushes by those masterful artists, but nevertheless, the level of photographs in the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize makes you want to see more and more and more. Below are a few examples of this year's rich exhibition, that takes place only until February 17th, 2013, so get there at once!
