Hannah Starkey (born 1971) is a British photographer who specializes in staged settings of women in city environments. In 2019 she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society.
Biography
Born in Belfast, Starkey studied photography and film at Napier University, Edinburgh (1992–1995) and photography at the Royal College of Art, London (1996–1997). She now lives and works in London.[1]
Her more recent images have an almost theatrical character, often depicting women in staged settings, for example with a Coca-Cola in a pub or inside a public lavatory. She describes her work as "explorations of everyday experiences and observations of inner city life from a female perspective."[2][3]
