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.
The swimmer, who had her right foot amputated at the age of 10 months, was captured on camera during a short interval in a busy training day.
Blake, 47, did not begin his career as a photographer until seven years ago.
The photographer from Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire collected the £12,000 award at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
