About:
Hannah Norton is a documentary photographer who works with individuals and communities that have been misrepresented in the mainstream media.

Norton received her MA in documentary photography from the London College of Communication. She has consecutively won British Journal of Photography’s Portrait of Britain, won LensCulture’s critic choice award, been published by Hoxton Mini Press, and exhibited at the Royal Photographic Society and as part of Palm Photo Prize.
