The exhibition, entitled "Talking Pictures," features celebrities who share Welsh descent. Other figures included in Jones' photography include Robert Plant, Owen Sheers, Bonnie Tyler, Dame Shirley Bassey, Emma Griffiths, David Gray and Bryn Terfel.
Jones, often described as Britain's answer to Annie Leibovitz, "used a camera at an early age to document his life and affirm a Welsh heritage. Here he tags celebrities who share his roots." Supplementing the photographs, each of the creative personalities in the exhibit recorded an audio response to the question, "Tell me who or what inspired you in your career?" This marks his first major exhibition in the United States.
Here is a selection of photos from "Talking Pictures":
Cambridge Jones' "Talking Pictures" appears at The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts through Nov. 27. The exhibit will launch in early 2011 at the Chateau Marmont before moving to The Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery March 3.
