Hannah Zimmerman
Art Director
As a Fashion photographer and filmmaker, her work is influenced by the unknown and world of fantasy. Creating visuals that push the boundaries of what is real and what isn’t by utilizing surrealism. Delving into the endless possibilities of lighting and set design helped her to create a world within her work. Heavily influenced by my hometown and childhood growing up in Buffalo New York where streetwear and industrialism dominate. Then mixing that with the high fashion scene she was introduced to in Detroit Michigan. She then combined these contrasting visuals and morphed them into a style of her own.
