PORTRAIT OF BRITAIN 2020
September-October 2020
JCDeceaux Screens UK
The Portrait of Britain Award is a nationwide photography exhibition run by the British Journal of Photography in partnership with JCDeceaux, celebrating 'the rich tapestry of people that make up Great Britain by turning their stories into public art.'
My photograph is of Jon, a volunteer lifesaver with the RNLI, the charity that saves lives at sea. He says his most proud moment was helping to save the lives of two professional yachtsmen who ran into difficulties when their vessel failed in a storm. He tries to help people and "if I got into trouble at sea, I hope that someone would be there to help me."
