At the National Portrait Gallery, we tell the story of Britain through portraits, using art to bring history to life and explore living today.
We look after the world’s greatest collection of portraits. Spanning six centuries, our artworks reveal the inspiring and sometimes surprising personal stories that have shaped, and continue to shape a nation - from global icons to local champions, national treasures to unsung heroes.
Discover videos including sitter and artist interviews, behind the scenes stories, and insights from curators.

David Harriman has really interesting things to say and a wonderful voice in which to say it. I love the highlighted quote above and particularly agree with his comments about David by Katya Ilina
Very moving video, a beautiful tribute to a father, will try to get down to the gallery now that I've seen the video
One of... or the best definition of what is a great portraiture. Thank you for sharing.
Often the first question that comes to mind when looking at a portrait is, What is the subject really like? When this person isn't posing - presenting an image they (and/or the photographer) wants us to see - what would be the result? More realistic or less? Would we have a more interesting image, more honest if you like, if we saw the overweight model wearing the clothes he arrived in? Or eating his lunch, unaware the person at the table next to him was taking a snap-shot? Posing is by definition a mask isn't it... pretending?
Lovely video and a really strong photograph. I'm sorry that I can't get to the National Portrait Gallery to see it in person.
A wonderful and powerful portrait. Congratulations.
COngratulations my dear friend !! More then deserved !! Straight and Strong buddy ! ;)
Can’t wait for the gallery to reopen!
Beautiful photos David! Congratulations.
Congratulations David. Fantastic photos and clearly a well deserved winner. Brilliant Mate.
An acknowledgement of the trauma that these human beings (indigenous women of australia) has got to be an ethical thing to do. It's a start on the part of white people in australia to open their eyes to the holocaust (in the proper sense of the term) that the indigenous people of australia suffered - and continue to suffer. Kudos to the photographer. (NZ)
