ABOUT HILARY BLOCK
People and photography have been a mainstay in my life since my own family began the process of documenting their lives, and sharing their photographic memories and pictures for future generations. I have the fondest of memories of sorting through my grandparents old photographs and carefully leather bound albums, from the black and white staged portraits of generations past, to the faded color snapshots and candids of my childhood.
My family has influenced me to explore the world, as they once did, teaching me an acceptance and sensitivity of our cultural differences. Additionally, my grandfather, Dan Sanborn, a photographer and journalist, inspired me to learn the art and craft of photography.
I continued my interest as a photographer, graduating with honors, and a BFA in Photography, from SCAD, the Savannah College of Art & Design, in Savannah Ga.
Since then, I have been working professionally in New England as an analog film and digital photographer for almost 20 plus years, including establishing Hilary B. Photography in 2009.
Finally, my husband Beren, our Golden doodle Charlie and daughter Helena, have given me further support and inspiration to see the world through the eyes of a child.
Currently photographing on both Fuji and Kodak analog films, expanding a body of travel inspired work for the fine art print shop. Also, volunteering giving towards a more sustainable planet, while also renovating our mid century gem when at home in Rhode Island. I seek what inspires me. I see to know. Hilary B.
Now, I’d love to learn something about you!
