Portrait of Britain

By various, Hoxton Mini Press, £20, 336 pages, hardback, ISBN 978-1910566381

When put out a call for portraits earlier this year, it received more than 13,000 submissions. Having whittled, contains all the shortlisted and winning entries. A handful of these pictures feature public figures – Greg Funnell's shot of the late Professor Stephen Hawking is particularly striking – but most feature everyday people going about their business. Tom Oldham's beautifully lit portrait of his son in the back of a car is among my favourites.
