Hannah Simpson
Award Winning, International Photographer & Creative
Rome - Milan - Melbourne - London
Creativity has always been a part of my life. After learning ceramics in school, I continued to study different artistic mediums, from painting to illustration, finally gaining my first class honours degree in fine art photography in 2012.
My career kick started when I moved to Australia in 2013, where I specialised in studio photography. Here I honed in my skills in studio lighting and posing, with the ability to work in a fast paced environment.
In 2014 I moved to London where I widened my photographic portfolio; covering events in exclusive venues such as the Ritz and The Dorchester, photographing celebrities and models, as well as working with fashion brands such as step2wo.
When working in a high end portrait studio, I started to develop and perfect my retouching skills; learning all there is to know about Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. At the end of 2017 I moved to Italy and started my own company, working with studios world wide, offering high end retouching.
My graphic design journey began when working for a start-up studio, where I was asked to design there branding and website. I have since developed my skills and have freelanced with various companies, working on brand identity through to design implementation.
I am now based in the UK and work with all four creative mediums, offering photo sessions, freelance branding & graphic design and retouching services. I feel my understanding of all these skills gives me a unique approach to every aspect of my work.
