I’m Hannah Judah, a Brighton-based commercial, portrait and headshot photographer specialising in vibrant, natural and expressive photography for individuals, creatives and businesses.
My work spans authentic portraiture, professional headshots and personal branding photography that feels relaxed, confident and true to you. Alongside this, I work with brands and creative teams on commercial and campaign-led photography, with a growing focus on modern visual content including advertising campaigns and drone imagery.
Based in Brighton & Hove, I work across Sussex, London and the South East, and I am available for projects throughout the UK.
At the heart of my work is people.
I specialise in photographing individuals in a way that feels natural, unforced and genuinely comfortable, even if being in front of the camera is not your favourite place to be. Most people arrive feeling slightly unsure, and that is completely normal.
My sessions are relaxed, guided and conversational. I will help you feel at ease with simple direction, gentle posing and a calm, intuitive approach that allows your personality to come through naturally.
The result is portrait photography and headshots that feel like you, not a version of you performing for the camera.
Whether I am photographing creative portraiture, professional headshots or personal branding sessions, the intention is always the same:
To create strong, expressive and visually striking images that reflect who you are and how you want to be seen.
My portrait work is known for being vibrant, natural and full of character, while still feeling polished and commercially usable. It sits at the intersection of creativity and professionalism, which is where most of my clients live too.
Alongside my portrait practice, I work with brands, businesses and creative teams on commercial photography and campaign-led projects.
This includes headshots for teams and organisations, personal branding for entrepreneurs, and broader visual campaigns for digital, editorial and advertising use.
I also create imagery for out-of-home and digital out-of-home (OOH / DOOH) campaigns, along with drone photography for projects that need scale, context and a wider visual perspective.
Being a photographer in Brighton is something I genuinely value.
Photography allows me to capture people in a way that feels honest and lasting. A single image can hold personality, energy and memory in a way that often reveals itself more over time.
I see photography as both craft and collaboration – creating images that people can feel confident using, connect with, and recognise themselves in long after the session is over.

Hannah is a fabulous photographer and has a lot of experience in different types of photography. An absolute pleasure to work with and has a heart of gold, Hannah made me feel so comfortable taking my photos it really put me at ease and also getting feedback and seeing a few back of the camera photos was encouraging! Not to mention the time Hannah spent editing the photos was greatly appreciated as they came out beautifully and I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Hannah.
Hannah was absolutely incredible. She shot new images for us at Lifestyle Fitness and we could not have asked for anyone better! She was creative, involved, professional and a joy to work with. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for photography of any kind.
Hannah is full of talent! Made me feel so comfortable and so welcoming. I have never been professionally photographed before,but she made my first experience enjoyable and I’m excited for some more projects to come!
Thank you so much Hannah Judah for the fun photo shoot at the gallery, you made the whole event fun and calm, I am very camera shy and you made the experience very comfortable and such fantastic colour captured in the portrait pics, you are super talented!
Amazing experience, great energy having portraiture taken by the talented & stunning Hannah. So thrilled with the photos .
It was an absolutle pleasure working with Hannah who came to shoot our street art trail amd take some promo shots of us. She has a really special talent, not only in the quality of her photographs but also in making you feel incredibly comfortable in front of a camera (which is usually something I absolutely hate). I have worked with many photographers throughout my career, probably into the hundreds but Hannah is right up there with the best. We will definitely work with her for future shoots.
Hannahs photos are exceptional. The quality of the images in themselves as well as a brilliant eye for composition, tone, perspective and colour really make Hannahs photos stand out. I am so pleased with my images and forever grateful to have worked with Hannah. Her manner is friendly and professional, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone.
Hannah is incredible at what she does - loved how my portraits came out, the whole experience was fun, creative and professional. I felt totally comfortable with her and the final outcomes after edits were stunning. Thanks Hannah!
