We are excited to announce that two of our Artists, David van Dartel and Michelle Sank, are selected for this year’s Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize Exhibition at National Portrait Gallery, London.

The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize returns to the Gallery in St Martin’s Place after three years, in 2023. This Prize is one of the most important and anticipated photography competitions in the world and a showcase for both celebrated professionals and talented amateurs. It’s always a highlight of the National Portrait Gallery’s year – and is a must-see for anyone interested in contemporary photography. 

This year, a total of 5020 images from 1785 photographers entered into the competition. Two exceptional portraits by Michelle Sank and David van Dartel were selected and will be on display as part of the exhibition.

This year’s exhibition will be held at the recently reopened National Portrait Gallery, from 9 November 2023 - 25 February 2024.
