Polly Thomas

I was asked to teach a professional practice class today at the University Of South Wales in Cardiff. The class consisted of a 2 hour talk, followed by an informal portfolio / website review session with the second year students.

My presentation featured many of my favourite photos from the past year or so from different areas of my work, covering photojournalism and press photography, PR photography, music photography, performance photography, wedding photography, as well as personal work.
