About me...
Hello, I'm Hannah and my love of photography began aged 16 when I signed up to an evening course and was hooked by the magic of developing my own pictures in a darkroom. Fast forward several years and I was lucky to enjoy a wonderful career as a Photography Director in the magazine and newspaper industry including a 10 year role at Conde Nast International. My work involved photographing editorial pages, sourcing imagery, art directing cover shoots and commissioning some of the UK's top photographers across news, travel and celebrities. Titles I have worked for include the Sunday Times, Vogue Japan, Glamour and GQ. I have also been privileged to be selected as a member of the adjudicating panel for the Canon Ambassador Programme. Launched in 2017 this brings together some of the world's best photographers who all share their passion for visual storytelling.
Having my own family has led me to a new, more local venture and I have been teaching children photography in schools since 2017. I love sharing my knowledge and enthusiasm with the next generation of budding photographers, watching their imaginations flourish and confidence grow.
