Information

Halena is a Documentary Photographer and Marketing Professional based in London and Somerset, UK, with a First Class Honours in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at London College of Communication. Halena’s photographic practice centres around themes of community, care, and identity, and she approaches her subject matter with sensitivity and notable consideration.

Mainly working in the photographic medium, but with experience in videography and mixed media art and design, Halena takes a tactile approach to her work, from making physical books and prints, to experimenting with alternative processes such as polaroid emulsion lifts.

Through her time spent within the industry, Halena has produced personal projects, collaborated with and assisted like-minded creatives, working as a documentary photographer, bookmaker and designer, gallery curator and photo editor, in which each experience has taught her valuable and transferable skills.

Now working as a Marketing and Content Executive for Alex Monroe, Halena utilises her Photography in a fast-paced business, creating high-quality campaign lifestyle photography, campaign videography, and maintaining the management of social media channels and press and PR. 

Alongside this, Halena works under James Mason Photography as a Photo Editor, with significant clients such as GQ, Conde Naste and the BFC.
