Teenager, 16, with rare terminal cancer checks off bucket list by photographing celebs

Doctors said she had six months to three years to live, depending on the effectiveness of chemotherapy

A teenage photographer with a rare form of cancer was in her element as she took photos of celebs on the red carpet at a movie premiere.

Liz Hatton, 16, worked alongside press photographers at the premiere of Venom: The Last Dance on Wednesday night.

The budding photographer, whose illness is terminal, snapped celebs including Tom Hardy, Hannah Waddington and Strictly’s Amy Dowden.

The inspirational teenager, of Harrogate, looked completely at home for the star-studded event at central London’s IMAX cinema.

Liz dropped out of school after she was diagnosed in January with desmoplastic small round cell tumour, of which only 12 cases are diagnosed a year.

Doctors said she had six months to three years to live, depending on the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

Liz, who has written a bucket list of things she wants to achieve, hit the headlines earlier this month when she got a hug from the Princess of Wales after being given permission to shoot behind the scenes of an investiture at Windsor Castle.

She said of meeting the royals at the time: “I never thought I would get to do anything as massive as this. When I did my bucket list I just put some ideas down. I didn’t even think any of these things would happen.”

“As they walked through the door it was a massive shock.”

Other items on Liz’ bucket list include having as many photographs published in a magazine as possible, helping to film a movie and photographing a music festival.”
