About

John Hall has been involved in photography for over twenty years. In the past he has taken part in various group exhibitions and in 2006, felt that the time had come to raise the stakes and presented his exhibition “Of Light and Half-Light” to record numbers of visitors at Cork Vision Centre.

His work has appeared on calendars, greeting cards, cd’s and book covers in both Ireland and Britain.
Published credits include: CSO Agri-Census poster, Photography Monthly, Practical Photography, Old Glory, Country Talk and Ireland’s Excellence.

John captures the rugged Irish landscape in vivid colour, using predominantly wide-angle perspectives and combining extremely long exposures at dusk (sometimes up to thirty minutes) with “light-painting” techniques to achieve his unique style.

He still uses traditional, film cameras to capture his images, employing Fujichrome Velvia 50 to ensure fineness of grain and gorgeous saturated tones.
His prints are then created using only Fuji archival papers to guarantee customer satisfaction.

At present, John is working on his next exhibition “Twilight Seascapes” which he hopes to unveil in mid 2010.
