About

Why this artist matters now

Hannah Starkey constructs staged photographs of women in urban environments, working within a tradition of cinematic tableaux that frames female experience as its central subject. Precise in composition and quietly theatrical in atmosphere, her images resist narrative resolution, suspending moments that feel both familiar and psychologically charged. She was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society in 2019.
