. [+] Territory by Adam Ferguson from the series Big Sky Adam Ferguson Adam Ferguson is an Australian photographer based in New York. His three shortlisted portraits were captured during extended journeys into the Northern Territory and Western Australia, made for his project Big Sky.

Vos’ series I’ll Come Following You follows his mother, Edith Mavis Velk, who is in fact his biological paternal grandmother – his legal guardian since his birth and mother by adoption since Vos’ teens.
This project is a collaboration; the photographer’s mother an equal contributor. Mom by Tjitske Sluis from the series Out of Love, Out of Necessity, 2023 Tjitske Sluis Tjitske Sluis is a Dutch photographer based in Utrecht, who came to photography through journalism at the Dutch newspaper Dagblad De Limburger. Sluis’ moving series Out of Love, Out of Necessity documents the photographer’s mother during the final stages of her life, while Sluis cared for her.
The series is about vulnerability, transience and learning how to cope with the death of a loved one, capturing tender, intimate moments. Sluis’ portrait Mom depicts her sleeping mother - afloat on a sea of floral duvet – and speaks to the deep trust and understanding between them. British photographer Steph Wilson works between London and Paris in fashion photography for brands such as Mugler, Simone Rocha and Nike.
Wilson’s ongoing project Ideal Mother seeks to document unconventional and “imperfect” examples of motherhood. In her shortlisted portrait, Wilson captures her eponymous sitter, Sonam, who she met through Instagram following a callout for a-typical mothers willing to be photographed for the project. Sonam’s direct and unsmiling gaze, wide legged sprawl, close cut hair and moustache make for an unexpectedly masculine image of motherhood.
A wig maker by trade, Sonam actually wears a false moustache, not only as a statement of her career, but also to call back to instances when she was encouraged to embrace her masculine features by friends and family. Wilson’s ambition was to present sitters as more than just mothers, referring to all elements that contribute towards a whole person, capable of many achievements. The Taylor Wessing Photo Portrait Prize opens 14 November 2024 at the National Portrait Gallery in London and will run until 16 February 2025.
The winner will be announced on 12 November. The judges for 2024 included multimedia artist Pogus Caesar; curator Alona Pardo; writer and curator Lou Stoppard; and the National Portrait Gallery’s Curator of Photography Clare Freestone..
