Hello, my name is Hadley Plett!
I am a Seattle-based photographer whose work explores identity, creativity, individuality, and human connection. Working across portraiture, fine art, concert, and commercial photography, I draw from my education and diverse photographic experience to create images that balance authenticity with a distinct visual style.
Rather than limiting myself to a single genre or aesthetic, I allow these different approaches to influence each other. My commercial experience brings organization and adaptability to my fine-art work, while my artistic practice brings intention, experimentation, and visual storytelling to my commissioned photography.
I want to create photographs that feel alive—images that hold personality, passion, vulnerability, and connection. Whether I am photographing an artist onstage, creating a portrait, documenting a community, or developing a more experimental image, I am drawn to moments that reveal something genuine about the people I photograph.
People are at the center of my work. As a queer woman, I am especially passionate about photographing women, LGBTQIA+ identifying people, and members of creative communities. I see photography as a collaborative process and strive to create an environment built on trust, communication, and mutual understanding. Through that connection, I aim to create images that feel personal, honest, and representative of the person in front of my camera.
