SOPHIE is part of an on-going personal project entitled BEAUTIFUL & WILD – a series of portraits of models wearing re-cycled clothing photographed against the backdrop of The Romney Marshes in Kent. Sophie is wearing a charity shop dress and a faded Union flag, and was photographed in a bus shelter by the sea..
There are sixty photographs on show at the exhibition chosen from a total submission of 5,340.
Hi Wendy, I saw the cover the other day and knew it was your photo straight away. Really lovely, very british and extreamely Wendy Carrig. Well done Kx
Wendy Congratulations the model Sophie has the most beautiful blue eyes, captured by a very talented photographer, well done and do hope that you will be rewarded for your dedication to your work.
love Eileen
Congratulations. I saw the photograph today in the exhibition, yesterday on an advertising postcard at a cinema on the Kings Road and of course on the catalogue. It is going to be ubiquitous. The exhibition is good, much better than last year in my mind, and yours is one of the most distinctive images. I hope that your professional career goes from strength to strength on the back of this.
Well done Wendy and well done all of us, it was a very special time and I am so proud to be a part of this amazing real timeless image. Love Denise Lilley xxx
I’ve seen your amazing picture every day for the last week whilst I’ve been traveling to/from work on the tube [actively looking for it in the last few days]. It is so striking and amazing, the colours, the depth of field, and the way youv’e capture your model sophie just show off her natural beauty! I just had to google to find you and compliment you on the photo and the achievement itself – well done and thank you for bringing some inspiration and beauty into my dull commute and hope this opens a few doors for you and your model 🙂 you’ve put a smile on my face the last few mornings
Thank you so much for your very kind words.
The Taylor Wessing prize is so often considered a lottery, but this is the first time I have entered these awards and it’s a bit like I’ve won the jackpot!
Happy commuting 😉
Just found your work after going around the Taylor Wessing exhibition in Bristol, your image was a real sand out for me and I’m very glad I have found your website!
