Marnie Hawson is a values-driven photographer working to help others increase their impact. Her clients work towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This is broadly broken up into two categories: sustainable architecture, and any other project that directly aligns to the SDGs. Being this specific about who she works with enables her to align with people who have a genuine commitment to the environmental and social impact of what they do. Those who are serious about sustainability; who consider communities; who support local; who are ethical, transparent and fair. Who want to contribute to a better world. Marnie began her professional life as an environmental scientist. Today, as a photographer she continues to measure her impact. She is B Corp certified, her practice is carbon neutral, and she is a member of 1% for the Planet. Her focus is helping people doing good in their world, and promoting their stories through pitching to her network of press and publications. If you're looking for art with a purpose, she has a limited edition fine art print shop that gives back to the environment. At least 2% of her revenue is donated annually to approved non-profits, and her Prints for Wildlife series donates 100% of profits directly to independent wildlife shelters.
