Who is Hannah

Hey there,

My name is Hannah and i'm a portrait photographer with over 20 years professional experience and 18 of those years as the photographer and co-owner of Artis Studios, a successful, high-end portrait studio for luxury clients in and around Berkshire, Surrey and London.

My approach to photography has always been about more than just capturing images; each and every person who books me as their photographer is treated as a friend, with my sole objective to make their experience as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. I have met a LOT of people and personalities and do not take for granted that each and every one of them felt vulnerable in front of the camera. I discovered quickly that a good photo is not about how someone looks - but how they feel. That inner confidence shines through when a person is calm, relaxed and trusts the person behind the lens.

Mix that philosophy with years of honing my skill as a photographer and hours and thousands in building my technical abilities both in lighting and post production. I have won multiple regional, national and international awards for my photography, but I always come back to fact that at its core, a good photograph is the connection with the subject.

I now enjoy passing on my years of experience to others in the most accessible way I can, by teaching them the fundamentals and the skill of photography, using just their iPhone. What started as a marketing initiative to give back to community groups, has become a way of sharing my knowledge with the masses.

I believe in the power of authenticity and strive to show this in every frame I capture. Whether you're seeking a professional headshot or a personal portrait, my goal remains the same: to showcase the real you in stunning photographs.
