Micheal Hall

What I enjoy most about Micheal Hall’s work is the attention that he pays to objects that we can relate to his.  Landscapes often seem to be related to the ecosystem and the changing of the atmosphere, which could have a profound impact on our life.   Much like my project, I think he is trying to draw attention to things that are often over looked by the general public.
 
Biography - Michael Hall has been a practicing professional photographer for over 20 years. Throughout that time, he has built a considerable reputation in Australia and internationally as both a fine art and commercial photographer. He was selected as Photographer of the Year in 2006 by the Federation of European Photographers, and in 2004 won the Canon New Zealand Architectural Photographer of the Year. More recently, Michael was announced as a finalist in the Hasselblad Masters 2009.
His fine art work focuses specifically on exploring human impact upon the landscape. Michael invests much time and energy in personal photographic projects – projects that engage with compelling and often confronting issues that ultimately affect us all. He is currently undertaking an extensive project to document the causes and effects of climate change to improve ecological awareness around the world.
