Opportunity : Pink Portraits 2025
The Iris Prize and Ffotogallery, in partnership with Bad Wolf Ltd, are delighted to announce a new opportunity for an emerging photographer based in Wales.
Following the success of Dylan Lewis Thomas’ Pink Portraits commission in 2023, and Sarah Scorey’s Pink Portraits commission for Transport for Wales in 2024, the successful applicant will be invited to create new portraits of some of the staff and crew at Bad Wolf Ltd who are part of Wales’ LGBTQ+ community.

This opportunity is open to all emerging photographers currently based in Wales who identify as LGBTQ+ or who are supporters and allies of the community.
Siân Addicott, Director of Ffotogallery said, “Ffotogallery is delighted to be collaborating once again with Iris Prize for this edition of Pink Portraits in partnership with Bad Wolf. Representation is vital in inspiring emerging talent and fostering the next generation of creatives. The LGBTQ+ community has historically been underrepresented in visual archives, making this initiative an invaluable opportunity for a photographer to create a new series of portraits that amplify LGBTQ+ visibility and contribute to a more inclusive record of Wales’ cultural history.”
TIMELINE:
Submissions are open from 9:00 am on Monday 17th March 2025. Deadline for submissions is 11:59pm on Sunday 20th April 2025.
The successful applicant will be informed in late April. We are hoping to commission one photographer from Wales, with a fee of £1000 to create ten portraits. Travel and other appropriate costs will also be covered.
