Chloe-Danielle Hodson - Studio Manager
Chloe is currently in her last year studying photography at the University of Hertfordshire (Graduated 2020) and in her spare time she’s working as the studio assistant at Fresh. By working mainly weekends she’s gaining valuable experience in a wide variety of shooting genres and is becoming a very apt and creative photographer.
She’s previously done shoots for actors and dancers , fashion Masters students and she's even done some work for ASOS market. After she finishes her course at University, Chloe is planning on coming and working with Fresh full time and with no doubt, she’ll become a very accomplished photographer as her passion for shooting and creating beautiful imagery is very clear.
Chloe is our resident foodie of the studio. When her mind isn’t thinking about how to create the best shots, she will be thinking about what she’s having for dinner, which is of no surprise when she’s normally finished her lunch before 10 o’clock.
