Portrait of BritaiN
My photograph—The Birth—from my NHS England Maternity series has been shortlisted for the British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain award and will feature in the Portrait of Britain Vol. 7 book (Bluecoat Press, 2024)
With an introduction by Diane Smyth, Portrait of Britain—an award run by British Journal of Photography—celebrates 200 remarkable photographs. Portrait of Britain Volume 7 is a powerful testament to the resilience, strength, and unity that define the people of the United Kingdom.
”The subjects of the 200 images here are not sorted by types or beliefs or allegiances. They do not represent anyone else but themselves. And this is how these portraits can begin to make small differences; challenging the easy assumptions we make about each other, offering alternative narratives through the stories of individuals. The simple act of looking into someone else’s eyes and considering how we are similar, how we are different, and how we define ourselves and our community through these judgments, is a dialogue of sorts.” – Simon Bainbridge
