2020 has changed the face of Britain as we know it. It's the year when people joined in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement and in which our daily lives and sense of community have shifted with the impact COVID-19.
Full of hope and humanity, these portraits and their accompanying stories capture some of the individuals behind the country's collective resilience.
The album comes from the third and latest instalment of the Portrait of Britain, an annual award and publication by the British Journal of Photography and Hoxton Mini Press.
Gathering photos - many taken during lockdown - from across the UK, it sheds light on the lives of frontline workers and protestors, provides a window into homeschooling and socially-distanced celebrations as well as an artful take on the DIY haircut.
Portrait of Britain Vol. 3 is published by Hoxton Mini Press.
Portrait of Britain is the annual photography exhibition organised by 1854 Media in partnership with JCDecaux and the accompanying book is published by Hoxton Mini Press which includes 200 images of both the shortlisted and winning images.
