Hannah Starkey (born 1971)[1] is a British photographer who specializes in staged settings of women in city environments,[2][3] based in London.[4] In 2019 she was awarded an Honorary Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society.
Hannah Starkey: In Real Life is showing at The Hepworth Wakefield until 30 April 2023.[5]
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).[1] She now lives and works in London.[6]
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."[7][8]
