ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES - PAMELA HANSON

Born in London and schooled in Switzerland, Pamela Hanson attended university in America. It was in New York that she met the photographer Arthur Elgort, described by Hanson as her mentor.

Elgort persuaded Hanson to go to Paris where she finally got her first major photographic commissions, working for magazines including Per Lui, Marie Claire and Elle.

Her stylish photography has also been used as part of an advertising campaign for the fashion designer Joseph.
