Richard Hanley- Newcastle UK
Wedding & Fashion Photographer
Hi, I ' m Richard Hanley, I ' m a photographer based in Newcastle specialising mostly in fashion, beauty and weddings. My work has been printed in various publications such as The Sun, The Daily Express, the Italian Vogue website and also in Professional Photographer Magazine a number of times, where I made it to the top ten in Wedding Photographer of the year in 2010.
I would say my influences, or photographers I admire, are Richard Avedon, Patrick Litchfield, David Bailey, and Albert Watson, and although I ' m nowhere near that standard they certainly inspire me to learn and improve.
I ' ve recently really started focussing( pardon the pun) on fashion a lot more, both working in my little studio and also more recently on location which is something I have never really concentrated on.
The photos featured here were taken whilst walking around the Blackfriars area of Newcastle for an hour and it really lit a fire for me and made me want to do much more location work. In the past I ' ve been working so much more in the studio as I appreciated being able to control the light much more as opposed to relying on the fickle British weather to help out.
Since this shoot I ' ve also done a Sixties themed one in an amazing townhouse which was decorated to that period. You can see the shots on my facebook page if you search for Richard Hanley Photography, or there is a link from www. RichardHanley. co. uk. I ' m always looking to shoot, especially with people I ' ve never worked with before so if anyone wants to arrange anything just get in touch.
