Beauty isn't a genre we shoot between other jobs. It's what the studio was built around. Founded by beauty photographer Hanna Hillier, HNA Studios sits where culture and trends meet a team who understands beauty's real complexity - hair, skin and makeup, down to the finest detail.
Hanna started HNA after years shooting beauty at the point where a trend is still forming - close enough to see it before it's obvious, skilled enough to actually execute it once it lands (she paved the way for macro textures)! That's still the balance the studio is built around: reading where beauty's going, and having a team who can deliver it at the level of detail it actually needs.
We're a London studio working with beauty and wellness brands globally, from indie names just getting going to the biggest houses in the industry. Around 70% of our international clients direct their shoots without ever setting foot on set - we stream live over Zoom and WhatsApp, so you're giving notes and approvals in real time, wherever you are.
We scale to whatever the brief actually needs. A single-day product shoot and a multi-location campaign get the same level of attention - just a different size specialist crew behind it.
The studio fluent in beauty nuances. Trusted by the best brands in the industry.
the beauty obsessives behind HNA.
Hanna Hillier
Over 16 years behind the lens means Hanna knows the beauty industry inside out, and she knows exactly what makes a production work (and what doesn't). Spending her career this close to skin, hair and makeup has given her an eye for beauty's nuances that few can match. What drives her is celebrating real beauty, in all its detail.
