# Jo Hanley Photography
Jo Hanley is an Edinburgh-based commercial photographer specialising in editorial, corporate and commercial narrative photography for agencies, publications and brands across the UK and internationally. The studio produces bespoke portrait collections and campaigns that capture authentic moments within carefully constructed environments.
The business serves advertising agencies, editorial publications, global brands and public bodies requiring high-calibre visual storytelling. Clients include major corporations, leading international publications and established organisations seeking professional imagery that communicates their narrative effectively.
What distinguishes Jo Hanley Photography is a deep understanding of the nuances between direction and patience in commercial work. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, the photographer recognises that creating genuine connection in contrived environments requires precision and strategic decision-making. This experience-driven methodology—knowing when to guide subjects closely and when to allow moments to unfold naturally—produces work that feels authentic despite its commercial purpose.
The portfolio demonstrates particular expertise in lifestyle and narrative imagery across diverse sectors including spirits and hospitality, technology, corporate leadership portraiture and editorial features. Whether capturing intimate character studies or dynamic lifestyle scenes, the work balances commercial requirements with photojournalistic authenticity. The studio's willingness to travel across the UK and beyond, combined with technical proficiency in both studio and location work, ensures clients receive polished, publication-ready imagery that elevates their brands and stories.
