Hannah Horstmyer is a portrait photographer who uses both film and digital photography to tell her own stories, as well as those of her subjects. She incorporates the built environment as both a constraint and an integral part of the narrative. Her work often evokes feelings of comfort and familiarity, intertwined with a sense of unease and discomfort.
There is also an element of guarded playfulness throughout her work. Suggestive body language, a smirk , or a contorted pose can imply a subject who wants to be seen-just perhaps not in their entirety.
