Portrait Of Britain Volume 3

The Black Lives Matter movement and Covid-19 have brought a tidal wave of change to Britain. In turbulent times, these portraits and accompanying stories, full of hope and humanity, capture the individuals that make up the country’s collective resilience. After the success of the first two editions, the British Journal of Photography (1854 Media) and Hoxton Mini Press will once again produce the accompanying publication to Portrait of Britain, an annual award which sees the best portraits taken in the UK tour the country. With many taken during pandemic period, these portraits have particularly resonant themes including frontline workers, BLM protests, socially distanced celebrations, homeschooling, lockdown haircuts and moments of everyday ‘stay home’ life.
