Geoff Hansen

Geoff Hansen's approach to his work is marked by respect for the subject, gentle humor and letting events play out naturally in time. He doesn't stage or pose pictures but uses a photojournalist's techniques and instincts to capture the joy, drama and unpredictability of life. "It's a combination of emotion and light, and trying to tell a story in a single moment," Geoff says.

Geoff's photography has appeared in a dozen books, including "The Joy of Keeping Chickens" and "Living with Pigs." He has been photo editor and page designer at the Valley News in Lebanon, N.H., since 1998. Geoff has also been published in Newsweek, the New York Times and USA Today. Additionally, he has had the privilege to photograph weddings since 1994.
