Hazel Gaskin grew up in Dublin, Ireland which influenced her documentary style and approach to photography.

While traveling in Japan, Hazel bought her first camera which ignited her passion for photography.

She studied photography in Ireland before moving to London to begin assisting. As she preferred to learn practically, she began assisting photographers such as Alasdair McLellan & Scott Trindle.

Narrative, characters and communities are very important in her work. Her personal projects focus on society and culture.
