"Taken in Tokyo in June 2004, this image has been selected from nearly 8000 photographs submitted to the SCHWEPPES PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAIT PRIZE 2004 as the winning picture. The first and only time in the AWARD's history, the entire prize money of GBP 15,000.00 was awarded to a single photographer.
Two of the three young women made the long journey from Japan to England to be part of the celebrations at the National Portrait Gallery in London. After returning from shows at various other venues around the UK, a limited edition print has since been sold by London auction house Sotheby's in aid of the Women's Health Center/London.
The two women - inspired to study English by their stay in the United Kingdom's capital - have since moved to the United States."
