National Photographic Portrait Prize 2009 Finalist
I knew Len for a while. It took me ages to ask him if I could take his photograph. He was quite angry most of the time. Everything was a huge effort for him. When he said 'OK mate' it took me by surprise. It was all over in a few seconds, noncontrived, just staring at the camera.
In its second year at the National Portrait Gallery, and for the first time touring to other venues, the National Photographic Portrait Prize 2009 continues to present surprising perspectives on the nature of contemporary portrait photography.
