Hawkesworth's first photography project was made in Preston bus station as a member of the collective Preston is My Paris. [3] [4] The work was published in their 2010 self-published newspaper as well as in his own 2017 book, both called Preston Bus Station. That experience has influenced his work since, [1] shooting fashion campaigns, catalogues and editorials. [1]

He has had solo exhibitions at The Hepworth Wakefield in Wakefield, UK; Red Hook Labs in Brooklyn, New York City; and Huis Marseille in Amsterdam; the latter showing a mix of his personal as well as his commercial photography. [1] [2]

Life and work

Hawkesworth grew up in Ipswich. [5] He first used a camera in 2007 as part of his studies for a forensic science degree at the University of Central Lancashire in Preston. [1] [5] He subsequently switched to a photography degree, graduating in 2009. [5]

His first completed photography project was Preston Bus Station, [1] [2] street photography, portraits of people, and a short film made over three years in Preston bus station [1] in North West England, including one whole month spent there. It was made as a member of the collective Preston is My Paris. [3] [4] The photographs were included in the group's 2010 self-published newspaper, as well as in Hawkesworth's own 2017 monograph. He has said of the project "it informed how I understand light, how I approach people. It’s at the heart of the way I see things." [1]

His fashion work has included shooting campaigns and catalogues for JW Anderson and Loewe (both in collaboration with Jonathan Anderson), [6] [7] and editorials for Vogue, Fantastic Man, and T: The New York Times Style Magazine. [1]

Hawkesworth uses the same Mamiya RB67 medium format film camera and lens for all his work, and develops and makes his own prints. [5] [8] [9]

In 2014 the British Journal of Photography pronounced Hawkesworth "One to Watch". [10] In 2017 The New York Times said he is "feted as one of the most talented fashion photographers of his generation". [1] His images have been described by I.D. as being "defined by their romantic warmth, simple beauty, and emotional openness". [2] In 2018 he received the Award for Editorial, Advertising and Fashion Photography, from the Royal Photographic Society.
