Pink Portraits 2024 will be displayed across Wales during Pride Month (June) in public spaces.
Pink Portraits Revisited!
To mark LGBT+ History month 2023 the Iris Prize in partnership with Cardiff University, Ffotogallery, and University of South Wales were delighted to produce the Pink Portraits Revisited.
In 2023 the theme for LGBT+ History Month was Behind the Lens. This theme provided 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.
Pink portraits Revisited was produced by the Iris Prize in partnership with Cardiff University, Ffotogallery and the University of South Wales.
The Pink Portraits Revisited (The Sitters) can be seen here
The Photographer 2023
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
