Alison Hatch

Through the unpredictable nature of film, I explore the raw, unfiltered intersections of identity, nature, and the feminine experience. My work embraces analog photography’s tactile imperfections—light leaks, film soup, and blind double exposures—to push the boundaries of traditional portraiture. These experimental techniques mirror the complexity of transformation, allowing the unexpected to reveal deeper truths.

Inspired by the rhythms of nature and the journey of womanhood, my images embody the tension between softness and strength, beauty and destruction, pleasure and pain. I am drawn to the divine feminine—both its luminous power and the weight of inherited expectations. Layering florals with self-portraits, distorting reality through chemistry and chance, I create visuals that challenge what is seen and unseen, known and felt.

Each frame is an act of surrender and reclamation—a space where chaos and intention collide, and where the untamed spirit of analog photography mirrors the untamed spirit within.

Bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts but the real education I received is through being at the feet of my mother painting in our home.
