London Photographer
Mehmet Emin Hassan
I am a photographer. There are many like me but let me tell you how I am unique.
Seven years ago, I switched careers to pursue photography full-time.
Leaving the world of clinical research - a dependable, potentially lucrative industry - for the uncertainty of a creative’s life seemed a crazy roll of the dice. My perseverance, adaptability and focus has enabled my success - it drives my passion to explore further creative opportunities.
Q&A
What sparked your interest in photography?
My father. Forever behind the lens, when I was old enough, he gave me the family camera. Photography has been in my life ever since.
What inspires your work?
People, their behaviours and vulnerabilities. I have always thought of myself as a street photographer, but increasingly, I am moving towards a humanist style of photography.
What equipment do you use?
Leica Q, but vast majority of my portfolio is shot with a Nikon D750.
Did you study photography?
Nope, all self-taught.
Testimonials
I had the pleasure of working closely with Mehmet during our time together at London Victorian Ring Company, where he was the lead photographer and creative director for the business. As the e-commerce marketing head, I collaborated with him on numerous product and campaign shoots, and he was instrumental in bringing our creative visions to life.
Mehmet has an exceptional eye for detail — a crucial quality in a brand that demanded nothing less than excellence and precision. He consistently delivered beautiful, luxury-standard photography with creative flair, often working within tight budgets and constraints. His ability to conceptualise shoots, problem-solve technical challenges, and elevate ideas into stunning visual assets was truly impressive, enhancing the creative identity and commercial success of the business. The content Mehmet created was utilised across the e-commerce platform, email channels as well as organic and paid media.
Beyond the shoot itself, his post-production and editing skills were outstanding. Mehmet has a refined aesthetic and a deep understanding of how to craft imagery that speaks to a brand's identity and audience. Working with him was not only creatively inspiring but also seamless and collaborative — he brought both vision and professionalism to every project whilst being a complete pleasure to work with.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mehmet to any brand or team looking for a talented, thoughtful, and reliable creative partner.

I recently worked with Mehmet for creative lifestyle photography as well as product shots for my jewellery brand.
I prefer a more natural style and Mehmet understood exactly what I wanted and delivered images that exceeded my expectations.
His creative input was amazing for my lifestyle images and his eye for detail has resulted in very high quality product shots.
I am thrilled with the outcome, the final images are beautiful and they were perfect for my brand launch. I can’t recommend Mehmet highly enough!
