Kat Hannon was born in Glasgow in 1981 and moved to the north of England as a teenager. Kat studied Fashion: Styling and Image Making at the University of Salford, near Manchester. Kat’s training as a stylist fed her fascination with imagery, and she developed a passion for photography, styling and image making, eventually going on to study photography and black and white printing at Central St. Martins in London.
Kat has been freelancing across the UK and Europe for nearly half a decade from her Twickenham based studio. She has had a variety of high-profile clients and published works. She has won awards locally, whilst being highly recommended by the London Photographic Awards (LPA).
Kat gained her Associateship with the Royal Photographic Society in the summer of 2008. Kat is a member of the AOP, LPA, RPS, SWPP and BIPP, and the local Richmond & Twickenham Photographic
Society of which she is the publicity coordinator. Kat’s memberships keep her up to date with the latest photography as well as developing her own methods.
Kat takes great pride in the diversity of her work and believes that observation and experimentation is the key: Every client wants their images to be unique and stand out. Kat, whether producing portraits, landscapes, specialised shoots or weddings, in the studio or on location, provides a bespoke service. She brings her own ideas and inspiration to every shoot.
Photographing weddings for Kat is a concept she adores. Romance and beauty are one of her favourite genres and so it is her delight, as well as her work, when photographing a wedding day.
Kat has been photographing weddings for several years and continues to work with new couples creating their ultimate collection of photographs. Her photographic style is reportage and her fashion and styling background gives her a real edge.
In her job as both a corporate and also a wedding photographer in south west London, Kat's speciality is to see the unusual views, and get the pictures that no one expected. Those moments are somehow richer and often present a truer picture of the day's events than more formal, posed photographs can.
