Hannah Gaber is a photographer, video producer, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. She is passionate about exploring the world, connecting with people and striving to understand them, their culture and their history. Her work in photography and journalism are expressions of this curiosity, and her deep desire to share what she learns with those who also wonder about the world.  

Hannah split summers between Massachusetts with her father and Cyprus with her archaeologist mother, but considers Tucson, Arizona home. In high school, photography became her main mode of expression and exploration, and she later enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design specializing in fine art, wet process black and white photography. After graduating in 2004, she interned with fine art portrait photographer Joyce Tenneson in Manhattan, then returned to Savannah to work as lead photographer and general manager of Hilton Head Island Photography. In the off-season, she began exploring event and wedding photography, and branching into editorial work for publications such as Skirt!, Lowcountry Monthly and Hilton Head Monthly magazines.

She returned to Tucson in 2011 and completed dual MAs from the University of Arizona in Journalism and Middle Eastern and North African Studies, with a Graduate Certificate in Judaic Studies. She spent time in Turkey, Peru, Egypt, Dubai and Oman, completing a documentary on youth entrepreneurship as her MA thesis project. After graduating, she lived and studied Arabic in Morocco for a summer, then returned to Arizona on a Pulliam Fellowship to work at the Arizona Republic as a multimedia journalist before being awarded a Fulbright scholarship to work on a documentary project in Cyprus. While there, she was hired as a video producer for USA TODAY in Washington DC, eventually becoming the Senior Producer for Politics before leaving to lead a team of podcast producers in NYC, and landing at Stand Together Communications to lead the video storytelling and creative development capability.
