Prize winning photography goes on display in Sheffield
Work from the renowned photography competition, The Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize 2014, is on tour from the National Portrait Gallery and opens tomorrow.
The exhibition presents a diverse range of images selected for the prize, including Jessica Fulford-Dobson’s Skate Girl, which is taken from The Skate Girls of Kabul series, which documents young Afghan girls who attend Skateistan. Born out of a small Kabul skateboarding school in 2007, Skateistan now provides education for children.
