There are so many ways in which artists strive to convey a sense of character, situation and relationships in their work. The immediacy of photography is very clear to see in the wonderful Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize show at the National Portrait Gallery. There is something compelling about the clarity of the images, the weird intensity of many of the expressions and, in many cases, the trust the subject puts in the photographer to convey an honesty which is genuinely moving. The show has just opened and runs until 14th February 2010.
