Anthony Hall was born and raised in Richmond, VA, but currently resides somewhere in the hills of West Virginia. His interest in photography started as early as 8 or 9 years old, and in 1997 he started high school courses in black and white film photography. Making prints in the darkroom of his and his friends’ skateboarding antics further cemented his love of image making.
Over the years, his dreams of professional skateboarding, rock-stardom, and professional cycling pursuits often left his camera collecting dust, but he always returned to the click of the shutter.
Eventually, Anthony started to pursue a degree in photography at Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts. While there in the late 2000’s, he received an internship with Virginia Tourism’s photo department and started assisting some of the best commercial and corporate photographers in the area, all while taking on his own photographic projects and work. For the past 10+ years, Anthony has been specializing primarily in commercial and editorial photography.
While his skill set behind the camera certainly isn’t limited to portraits, Anthony most enjoys working with and photographing interesting people to create powerful imagery that often draws influence from cinema, fashion, and rock’n’roll. Whether shooting in the grit and dust of a custom motorcycle builder's workshop, or capturing the grace and strength of professional ballet dancers, he strives to make the most striking image possible.
He spends his spare time collecting tattoos, cruising on motorcycles with his wife Aidan, and tending to their ever growing family of pets and farm animals.
