Lily Allen photographed after her theater debut in The Pillowman, James Acaster dressed as a Party Gator, and British DJ-come-film director Don Letts were just some of the familiar faces featured in this year’s Portrait of Britain shortlist. In total 200 poignant and powerful images were selected from business owners, beatmakers, boxers and everyone in-between, showcasing how truly diverse Britain is.
Now in its sixth year, the Portrait of Britain by the British Journal of Photography is one of the UK’s largest exhibitions with 100 images displayed up and down the country on JCDecaux digital screens. All 200 shortlisted images will also be printed in the Portrait of Britain Volume 6 book, published by Bluecoat Press, as well as receiving international recognition from the likes of the The New York Times, the BBC and JCDecaux.
