Pink Portraits 2025 showcases images of LGBTQ+ professionals who have worked on Bad Wolf productions since 2017
All portraits taken by South Wales-based photographer Siria Ferrer – ten to be displayed in the Iris Prize Bar, the others in an online exhibition on the Iris Prize website.
The organisers of The Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival – celebrating global stories and Cardiff charm and Ffotogallery, in partnership with award-winning television production company Bad Wolf, are delighted to present the Pink Portraits 2025. As well as the exhibition, Behind the Scenes: Pink Portraits @ Bad Wolf, directed by Harrison Williams, will be shown on Opening Night (13 October) at Iris HQ in Stadium Plaza.
The short film looks behind the scenes as photographer Siria Ferrer captures portraits of some of the LGBTQ+ individuals bringing some of the biggest television dramas to our screens with Cardiff-based company Bad Wolf.
Berwyn Rowlands, Iris Prize LGBTQ+ Film Festival Director, said: “The Pink Portraits project allows Iris to work in partnership with organisations who share our values about diversity. During the festival we get a chance to see the new portraits in our festival catalogue, the exhibition in the festival club and on screen with the making of film!
“Bad Wolf was a very special partner. They have been supporting our work for years and years. So, working with them during their 10th anniversary year was a joy.”
The Pink Portraits 2025 is a project showcasing images of LGBTQ+ professionals who have worked on Bad Wolf productions since 2017. Crew members were asked to come forward and those who did were brought together for ad hoc group shots and individual portraits at Wolf Studios Wales.
Jane Tranter, CEO and Co-Founder of Bad Wolf, said: “As Bad Wolf celebrates its ten-year anniversary, partnering with the Iris Prize on Pink Portraits of some of our Wolf Pack staff and crew highlights our core values. Inclusion is at the heart of all that we do — in front and behind the camera. The work of Iris continues to inspire and together, we’re championing authentic representation and celebrating the diversity of LGBTQ+ lives.”
Taken by South Wales-based photographer Siria Ferrer, this year’s iteration of the project is celebrating the 10th anniversary of Bad Wolf. The exhibition contains 10 selected photos displayed in the Iris Prize bar for the duration of the festival, and you can find the full extended collection on the Iris Prize website here.
