After winning a prize in a photography competition run by The Sunday Times magazine in 1981 with a set of pictures of the ‘Bright Young Things’, British photographer Dafydd Jones was hired by, bible of the upper crust, Tatler magazine to photograph the Hunt Balls, society weddings and debutante dances of the British upper class season, and would continue to do so until 1989. “I had access to what felt like a secret world. It was a subject that had been written about and dramatised but I don’t think any photographers had ever tackled before. There was a change going on. Someone described it as a ‘last hurrah’ of the upper classes.” -  Dafydd Jones This publication will be  released to coincide with an exhibition at the Print Sales Gallery at the Photographers' Gallery in London from 3rd August to 8th September 2018 - Tabloid - 24 pages Press AnOther /  BJP / Creative Boom  / Creative Review / Guardian /   Guardian: My Best Shot / Hero  / Huck / Tatler /  Tank  / The Times
