The University of Hertfordshire is home to a vibrant and diverse student body, each person carrying their own journey, dreams, and ambitions. Humans of Hertfordshire is an ambitious visual project capturing 1,000 headshot portraits of students—creating a collective portrait of the university’s heartbeat.
Every student has a unique story. Some are chasing academic excellence, others are exploring their creative passions, while many are forging friendships that will last a lifetime. From first-years adjusting to a new chapter to final-year students preparing for the world beyond university, each face represents a personal narrative—of growth, resilience, and self-discovery.
This project isn’t just about portraits; it’s about connection. Through each headshot, we capture the personalities, emotions, and essence of student life at Herts. It’s a tribute to the people who make up this dynamic university—a reminder that behind every lecture hall, campus café, and library seat, there is a story waiting to be told.
