Professional Practice class - USW

November 23, 2016Polly 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.

La Voix Humaine Production Shots, Penarth

"A woman is on the phone to her lover. He doesn’t want to be with her anymore. She is approaching breaking point. She thinks she’s alone but she’s not. We, the audience, are in her apartment. We witness her life unravelling.

Taking place in an apartment in Penarth, WNO’s Artistic Director David Pountney has taken a 20th century opera classic and created a unique and visceral theatre experience especially for Festival of Voice. This is opera up-close, intimate and unrestrained.

Sung live with recorded piano accompaniment, this exclusive Festival of Voice production is a new experience not to be missed."
