One of Simon's winning images features Dylan Lombard, a photography student from the city's Southside.who has been diagnosed with MDP Syndrome, a rare metabolic disorder that prevents fatty tissues from being stored underneath the skin.
"On that particular day, there was a band playing in Govanhill just off Victoria Road and I saw Dylan and he was dancing, and it was a fantastic dance he was doing, and I just thought 'today is the day'."He added:"It’s brilliant [it's been selected]. "I’ve been in it [Portrain of Britain] a couple of times over the past couple of years, but to have the portrait of Dylan there is quite special and I know how much it means to him, I know how much it means to his family too so it’s a lovely thing."Dylan, who uses social media to raise awareness of MDP, says he is"proud" his portrait will feature in the exhibition.
"And to see all the other portraits that were being chosen to show Britain, I feel it’s been good it’s also been chosen to help raise that awareness as well." Another of Simon's portraits of Twins James and Brian was also selected as one of the 100 pictures which will be displayed on screens across the UK, while Jim will also feature in the Portrait of Britain Vol. 5 book.
