#16 Ex-Voto, Alys Tomlinson

We are truly honoured to be joined this week by 2018 Sony Photographer Of The Year, Alys Tomlinson. Amongst many topics, Alys talks with us about her 5 year Ex-Voto project that documents landscape, people and faith from Lourdes through Ireland and Poland. We discuss the background to the project, as well as it’s ideas and thoughts it provokes.
 
A truly inspiring artist
