Meet Hannah Mai, she is a 25 year old Netherlands lass and we knew you would want to get to know a bit more about her. We’ve gone and got a bit of a crush on her… and of course her photographs!! Here she shares her story Les Animaux and talks to Lindsey & Claire

L&C: Tell us a bit about the inspiration behind your medium. WE get it, because we’re total photo geeks, but why photography?

HM: I don’t consider myself a technical photographer. I care more about ambiance, emotion and feelings. I get inspired by many things. Nature, my models, antiques, darkness, sad music and of course, my own feelings. I often use my photos as a mirror to project my emotions. I combine all elements, until I find the image that represents what I was looking for. Postprocessing is a very important part of my photography. With adding or withdrawing colours, elements of other photos, structures or ink and paint, I reinforce the ambiance in the photos.

L&C: Tell us a bit about this shoot

HM: I shot this series in August, here in the Netherlands, with model Lotte. The concept and styling were in my hands, we used no other team members.

Bella. Head over to Hannah Mai’s website for more beautiful images. Don’t delve too deep though, because we’re going to raid her website for another feature very soon! SWOON
