Named Sony World Photographer of the Year 2018 Alys Tomlinson's work has been exhibited in the UK, France, Ireland and the USA. The 'Ex-Voto' exhibition is a study of offerings of religious devotion found at Christian pilgrimage sites across the world.

Known as 'Ex-Voto' these offerings can take many forms - a handwritten note neatly folded and hidden in a crevice, crosses etched onto stone or ribbon carefully wrapped around piles of twigs.

The photographs have been taken at the pilgrimage sites of Lourdes, France, Ballyvourney, Ireland and Grabarka, Poland.
