The Evening News has been running a ‘Doorstep Portraits’ project during the coronavirus lockdown. Our photographer has taken portraits of members of the community in Edinburgh and the Lothians over the course of the last few weeks. Those photographed approached the Evening News volunteering to take part, and all photographs were taken in a safe manner observing government guidelines on social distancing.
