Mick Hangland-Skill

(He/They) Hey! I’m Mick—an award winning photographer and designer specializing in visual journalism. If you look carefully, you’ll see me running through the city with a camera. I’m currently freelancing for various clients, including The Columbian newspaper.

My work covers a wide range of areas: photo editing, art direction, illustration, editorial layout, and more. On every project I work on, I bring a keen eye focused on creating engaging visual stories. Currently, my photographs are on view in the Pacific Northwest Drawers at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland. Get in touch and let’s work on something!
