Hello, my name is Clare Hannan. I’m the owner/photographer at Hannan IMAGES.
As a kid, my parents took me to see Terri Gilliam’s film The Time Bandits. The young lead, Kevin, is taken from his bed at night on an adventure by time-travelling dwarves through a time-hole in his wardrobe. He meets historical characters and travels back in time. When the adventure is over and he is back in his room, the only proof he has that it was not a dream are the polaroid pictures he took. Or was it a dream? For me that was a revelation. The idea that he had tangible proof of what happened in a dream was incredible.
So, photography for me is tangible proof of our existence. Like Kevin, we have physical evidence of people and occasions that define our lives. Our memories fade and photographs remind us of what we have forgotten; they remind us of people, places and experiences we’ve had. Every photo is unique and not replicable, the moment has passed and if we are lucky, we have it in our hands, in an album or in a photo frame.
Photography is about capturing moments.
Hannan IMAGES is based in London NW1 and specialises in event and portrait photography. Since its inception in 2016 the business has grown, working with clients such as BAFTA Piccadilly, WeWork, The Tait Memorial Trust, Merchant Taylor’s School, The London Cabaret Club, Milbank and The Exchange Theatre.
