Photoescape Photography by Carina Hall
Photo Escape features the work of Carina Hall. Escape for a moment to my galleries specialising in Underwater, Landscape and Wildlife Photography.
My Photography
The majority of my photography depicts the natural world and I enjoy capturing striking scenery at different times of day or as the weather is changing.
I envisage that my photographs allow the viewer to experience a natural beauty that is found in a variety of subjects. I aim to capture my subjects in a sensitive and experimental style where my images often contain water and reflections that add a surreal feel to them.
Reefscape (below) captures a tranquil moment that I was able to escape to after a dive in the shallows of a Red Sea reef. This photograph best describes my style and desire to describe light, colour and reflection in a unique way.
I am an artist who works in a wide range of media. Photo Escape predominantly features my photographic artwork. Please visit the Art Blog section of this website to find out about my exhibitions, glasswork, installation art and painting.
My Background
I studied Fine Art at university where I explored a number of projects working in video, art installation as well as photography. In my final year I purchased my very first underwater camera, it took 35mm film and I could take it to a depth of 5 metres! Subsequently I became an Open Water diver and completed my training dives out of Portland Harbour. There I experienced the UK's murky greeny waters and I dived my first wreck, the spooky Countess of Erne. The experience was quite surreal and I was suddenly addicted to the liquid world.
A few years later, and I am a PADI Divemaster with nearly 600 dives. I have travelled to around 15 countries to dive including The Seychelles, The Red Sea, Papua New Guniea, Fiji, California and Borneo.
