Dafydd Jones (born 1956) is a British documentary photographer and photojournalist, best known for his work for Tatler Magazine. Dafydd's most well known photographs document the elite societies of London and New York at the end of the twentieth century.
Jones studied fine art in England and was influenced by trips to Italy. In 1981 he became a prizewinner in a Sunday Times magazine photography competition with a series of photographs of the 'Bright Young Things'. This brought him to the attention of Tina Brown, who hired him to photograph balls, debutante dances and weddings for the Tatler magazine.[1] Jones moved to New York in 1989, working as a photographer for the New York Observer and Vanity Fair. Moving back to London in 1996 to work for broadsheet newspapers, he began experimenting with digital photography. In 2015 Jones began producing boxed sets of silver gelatin prints, first called 'Exhibition in a Box' of material largely gathered from his work in the 80s. [2]
