This is Boris Johnson’s official portrait from number 10 Downing Street whilst he was the prime minister of the United Kingdom (24 July 2019 – 6 September 2022).
The senator-like image portrays Johnson as a statesman, directly looking into the camera’s lens without an expression; there is no agenda, narrative, or expression of communication on his face.
It could be argued this neutral pose is noncommittal in his policies, attitudes or intentions.
