As the world’s longest-running and most influential voice in photography, British Journal of Photography hosted an open call for photographs that celebrate the country’s unique heritage and diversity. Portrait of Britain is first and foremost an exhibition by the people, of the people and for the people.

Of nearly 4000 entries, we have selected the portraits that capture the young and the old, reflecting not just the multiformity of British people, but also the myriad of styles and approaches to contemporary photographic portraiture.

The exhibition ran across JCDecaux's digital network of screens for 3 months.
