Tanya Houghton is a London-based photographer and director whose work is deeply rooted in the earth and landscape. Often found working in remote and challenging terrains, Tanya undertakes a broad spectrum of projects from commercial and editorial commissions, to research initiatives and exhibitions.
With a background in sociology and a creative practice that blends photography and video, Tanya brings a unique sensitivity to the communities she collaborates with. This multidisciplinary approach allows her to engage with a wide range of clients, brands, and communities worldwide, through creative problem solving, exploring narratives set in the great outdoors.
Driven by curiosity and a spirit of adventure, Tanya seeks out human stories embedded in wild and remote landscapes. Through her immersive process, she captures the profound connections between people and place, offering a sense of rewilding, encouraging others to move, explore, and reconnect with the natural world.
