Hase gathered her first darkroom experience in an extracurricular photography workshop in high school in Germany. To build upon her early self-taught technique, she began a more formal training at the New England School of Photography in Boston, where she took workshops for several years. Hase studied the historic process of Wet Plate Collodion in workshops with Jill Enfield and Michelle Rogers. Her work has appeared in a number of solo and group shows in Europe and the United States.
