hey, I’m hana
I’m a specialist photographer of people based in Hampshire but with a strong will to travel the UK to connect with humans celebrating, connecting or advocating. I photograph for businesses, charities, families (and their pets) as well as weddings.
I’m a bit weird and proud of it.
My pronouns are she/her.
I love dogs and sushi and margaritas, and if all three combine it’s a real treat.
I’m quite sharp and I just LOVE making people laugh.
I tend to blend in and get chatting to everyone at weddings and events. I find it allows me to get involved while I’m busy snapping away, and human connection always makes for better photos.
When I’m photographing, I tend to be pretty up for anything – if a shot requires lying on the floor or hanging out in a crane then I’m all for it.
I’m fully insured and I have more clothes at home/in the car… getting the right shots and having a total hoot while I do it is totally important to me.
If you’re looking for photography which seamlessly fits your day, or captures your brand, I can do that!
I live in Alton, Hampshire with my husband Tom and our two dogs, Bill + Ernie (my Mum and Dad have Bert…!)
Bill is a rescue GSP, and Ernie a rescue Miniature Schnauzer. They’re both stinky and they’re both 6.
I identify as a bisexual woman and queer rights as well as the rights of those who don’t conform to gender norms are very important to me.
I’m not a Tory, and I’m not a vegetarian.
