A former holiday camp photographer Dafydd Jones was a prizewinner in a 1981 photography competition run by The Sunday Times Magazine with a set of pictures titled Bright Young Things. It was these images that led the editor of Tatler magazine, Tina Brown, to hire him to photograph society balls, debutante dances and high-society weddings for the magazine. In 1989 he moved to New York and began working for the New York Observer producing feature and news related images, whilst also documenting society events for Vanity Fair magazine. Dafydd continues to work as a commissioned photographer for magazines and newspapers and his work is held at The National Portrait Gallery, London, The Hyman Collection of British Photography, London, Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol, Opsis Foundation, New York and the Yale Museum of British Art.
