CIRCE HAMILTON is a British-born adaptable portrait photographer creating images for brands, mass media, foundations, charities, and the arts.
Circe’s love of photography began when her mother, an ex-Royal-Ballet-dancer-self-taught photographer, gave her a Nikon FM camera aged twelve years old. Circe learned to develop film and print in the darkroom, helping out on her mother’s portrait sessions of Actors for Spotlight.
Her passion for photography led her to USA, where she completed a Photography BFA at Rochester Institute of Technology. Then moved to New York City to assist several photographers including the 1969 Pulitzer Prize winner Eddie Adams. Circe’s career has taken her round the world photographing politicians, celebrities and notable figures including: Dr Maya Angelou, Temple Grandin, Quincy Jones, Q-Tip, Baz Luhrmann, Deepak Chopra, Gordon Brown, Salman Rushdie, Macy Gray, Dolly Parton, Cyndi Lauper and Diane von Furstenberg.
Circe is a dual-citizen who works in London and New York City. Her photographic style is described as upbeat and relaxed. Coordinating complex shoots, directing talent, setting up scenes, to capture a narrative. She excels at making subjects comfortable quickly. Circe has the capability to assemble a tailored team for a specific project either side of the Atlantic. Circe has a wealth of experience across diverse media landscapes, working with clients, art directors and PR to align images with brand strategy and target audience.
Circe is working on a long term personal project documenting the female form in interior spaces.
