Hi, I'm Lou Hatton(Shields) a commercial and portrait photographer based in Wellington, New Zealand. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of living and working in the UK and France, where I honed my skills and creative vision. I've worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, including Peter Jackson, Empire Magazine, Xero Accounting, MAC Makeup, New Zealand Tourism, and the Directors Guild, to name a few.

My work is all about bringing ideas to life—whether it's on a commercial set or capturing the essence of an individual through portraiture. I’m known for my friendly, fun, and relaxed approach, which helps everyone feel at ease, ensuring each project is a success from start to finish.

Let’s create something amazing together!
