HAYLEY MADDEN
Hayley began her journey in the darkrooms of The Independent learning the tricks of the trade from top press photographers in a fast moving environment.
​
Throughout the nineties and noughties, she captured the vibrant world of music, contributing to renowned publications like NME, VOX, UNCUT, MOJO, Select, and Rocksound.
​
Her career took an exciting turn when she worked with the Mayor of London, serving under both Ken Livingstone and Boris Johnson from 2000 to 2016 and Hayley's keen eye and dedication earned her a regular spot as a photographer for The Royal Collection from 2008 to 2018.
​
Currently, Hayley collaborates with Kyle Mannock, providing her expertise to various clients in the arts and entertainment industry, including The Poetry Society, The National Literary Trust, The Creative Education Trust, and The Museum of the Home. She has also undertaken significant commissions for Westminster Abbey, Spread the Word, The National Portrait Gallery, Poetry Translation Centre, The Old Vic, Nutkhut, and World Book Day, focusing on profile-raising events and outreach programs.
