Portrait of Britain Vol 2 PIX TO COME
Kaleidoscope of the extraordinary diversity of Britain’s population
THIS volume, published by Hoxton Press in collaboration with the British Journal of Photography, features the winning photographs of the latter’s open-call competition this year and, like the preceding 2018 work, it’s a kaleidoscope of fascinating images.
Reflecting the incredible diversity of people living in Britain now, there are some very moving portraits. Some are self-indulgent, while others focus on minority or marginalised groups as well as a few — too few, I feel — from the traditional mainstream.
