About Hannah | Marble & Sky

Hi, I'm Hannah!

I am based in Chigwell and work in and around London & Essex.
I graduated university in 2019 with a degree in Musical Theatre from one of London's top Drama Schools, Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts.

I have just finished performing in the new Wild-West Steampunk immersive theatre show in London called Phantom Peak!

I've always been obsessed with headshots and theatre photography. In school I would get my mum to take my headshots and dance show pictures and spend all evening editing them. That's how I knew I needed to do this as a career.

About Me

Marble & Sky Story

After graduating Mountview in 2019 I had my sights set on performing in the West End, a dream I'd had since I was a child. So I got an agent and began performing on a cruise ship. The contract finished and almost immediately, the Covid Pandemic hit.

During Covid I had a lot of time to think about how I saw my future. When I hit a low my mum actually mentioned that I should pick up a camera and give it a go, I haven't looked back since.

I spent almost every day of the rest of the pandemic researching, leaning and practicing how to be a photographer. Once the world opened up again, I started shooting almost immediately.

Since then I have had the pleasure of shooting for places like the Royal Albert Hall and for American Theatre Stars Abigail Barlow & Emily Bear.

I love photographing headshots and seeing them appear on spotlight and in theatre programmes. You really get to know someone during a headshot session and that's what I love the most. Theatre & Headshot photography is the most rewarding job I've ever had. As a performer I hated not knowing what the show I was in looked like from the audiences perspective, and now I get to capture it for others. As well as capturing what happens onstage I think backstage & dressing room shots are just to die for!

Thanks for reading a bit about how I started up my business. Below I've added my original headshots from my third year at drama school (for the memories). Thanks to Alishia Love for inspiring me and my career!
