LCC Photography graduate Hannah Burton immerses herself in the lives of her subjects in order to get the best shot possible.
She has scoured east London's Gascoyne Estate, getting close to people, even going as far as to dress in their garb and camp out in their rooms. However, perhaps her most intimate assignment was one in which she worked with her own mother, bravely exploring their relationship through her cherished medium of photography.
Burton explains,"I feel that my degree show work is my best work. Working with my mother was an honor, she was such a brave and giving subject and as the project was about our relationship I felt very close and connected to the images I was making."
