Hugh Hastings is the primary Getty Images editorial News, Entertainment, and Royal Rota photographer for Cornwall.
He is the Photographer in Residence at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro, and a specialist in documenting location projects with a BTS (behind-the-scenes) angle, such as his ongoing work for HFC, and the Duchy of Cornwall at Nansledan, Newquay.
Hugh became Chelsea Football Club's official photographer when he was 20, a post he held for for 10 years becoming the first photographer in the Football League ( as it was then) to gain BTS access to a club's inner sanctum. He is still a salaried member of the Club's media comms team, providing matchday image editing and managing the digital picture Archives.
Hugh has given over 100 public presentations and workshops, he is a TEDx speaker (2018), TEDx mentor (2019), and a speaker for the ShelterBox disaster relief charity.
