Putz is self-taught and started working with photography in 2009 as she felt that "90% of the photographers I worked with were men, so I wanted to find out if, and how images would change, if I as a woman, would photograph other women".{{Cite web|last=Matt|first=Gerald|date=2019-12-19|title=Hanna Putz: Licht der Wahrheit - Page 2 of 3|url=https://www.ooom.com/digital/hanna-putz-licht-der-wahrheit-2/|access-date=2021-08-20|website=OOOM Magazine|language=de-DE|archive-date=2020-08-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806094955/https://www.ooom.com/digital/hanna-putz-licht-der-wahrheit-2/|url-status=dead}}
