As I looked through Jeff Hahn's photographic portfolio, one of the words that immediately came to mind was "tender." Although his images had a gritty edge to them due to the urban setting as well as the saturated shots and bold lighting, the subject matter itself held a softness that lent a romantic air to his entire oeuvre.
Currently based in London, England, Jeff Hahn's work has been featured in such prestigious publications as Esquire, Maison Mode, HK Magazine, Tatler, i-D, Vice and more in both online and print capacities. He has also participated in group exhibitions in both Hong Kong and London.
With a hipster vibe, Jeff Hahn capitalizes on his youthful outlook while not trapping himself in its often superficial grasp.
