The final 100 Hold Still portraits have been compiled in new book, ‘Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020’, that provide a unique record of the shared and individual experiences of the first UK lockdown. Funds raised from the sale of the book will be split between leading mental health charity, Mind, and the National Portrait Gallery.

The Duchess of Cambridge visited the Royal London Hospital to mark the publication of ‘Hold Still: A Portrait of Our Nation in 2020’, learning how art and photography are used at the hospital to improve the patient and staff experience. The Duchess saw examples of arts projects and installations and heard how the National Portrait Gallery has helped bring workshops to young patients and their families. Later the Duchess went to the National Portrait Gallery’s archive. The final 100 Hold Still images will become part of the gallery’s national collection.
