In 2023 the theme for LGBT+ History Month is Behind the Lens. This theme provides us with an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the lives and professional achievements of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and the wider queer community.

The Photographer
The next generation of LGBT+ professionals working behind the camera in film and television are celebrated with 10 new Pink Portraits Revisited taken by Welsh photographer Dylan Lewis Thomas.
“Dylan’s portraiture has a gentle touch, revealing glimpses of his sitters’ inner personalities and a strong bond of trust with the photographer. We are excited to see how Dylan will develop his own unique style with this project.”
– Siân Addicott, Director at Ffotogallery
