Behind the camera

Two photographers, one way of seeing

Hana and Theo met assisting on fashion sets and opened Northlight in a Hackney Wick warehouse. They still shoot every commission together: one works the light, the other works the room.

No juniors sent in their place, no outsourced editing. Just two people who care how your pictures will look in ten years.

Client reviews

In their words

Four recent clients across four kinds of shoot, on what working with us was like and what they had at the end.

“We booked one day and came away with a year of content.”

“They waited for the right hour in every room instead of lighting their way through it.”

“We barely noticed them all day, and every moment we cared about was in the gallery.”

“Eleven partners, one morning, no studio, and every headshot matches.”
