An image of a teenage swimmer aiming for glory at the 2012 Paralympics has been named the winner of the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize.

Paul Floyd Blake’s photo shows Rosie Bancroft from Oxford shortly after beating her personal best.

Blake, 47, did not begin his career as a photographer until seven years ago.
