Photojournalism Hub Jamie Clark in conversation with David Hadland

Photojournalism Hub Jamie Clark is in conversation with social documentary photographer David Hadland.

David Hadland is a British social documentary photographer originally from Luton and currently based in London. His work focuses on the lives and experiences of diverse communities, using portraiture to convey nuanced, human-centred stories. From British subcultures to the fishing community in Brixham, his photography explores themes of identity, culture, politics, and belonging.

David’s projects have included documenting the cultural significance of the keffiyeh during pro-Palestine protests in London, as well as an ongoing body of work about the war in Ukraine. A key aspect of his
practice is the commitment to building trust with his subjects, which allows him to create images that are intimate, honest, and sensitive to the complexities of lived experiences. Through this approach, David
aims to provide deeper insights into the social forces that shape contemporary life.
