Panayiotis Lamprou took this photo of his wife, simply titled Portrait of My British Wife, as she was finishing breakfast while on holiday on the Aegean island of Schinousa. The photo is now a finalist for the Taylor Wessing Photographic Portrait Prize, and will be on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London when they exhibit it in a show of 60 of the submitted portraits in November.
