THE CREATIVE BEHIND THE LENS
I’m Heather Hughes
I offer video, photography and content creation services for editorial, social media and branding.
I’m based in Tunbridge Wells, but I’ve travelled all over the UK for my work, from London to the Outer Hebrides, and further afield. I’m as happy outdoors as I am in a studio.
From the rugged beauty of the Isle of Lewis to the vibrant energy of London, I’ve had the privilege of capturing stories across the UK and beyond.
With a background in both digital and analogue photography, my work spans a diverse range of styles and subjects—from lively dance performances and theatrical productions to intimate behind-the-scenes moments and captivating nature shots.
