Philip Hall Photography

“Photography is more than a medium for factual communication of ideas. It is a creative art”

~Ansel Adams

Welcome to Philip Hall Photography! Through this website, I would like to introduce myself, and the work that I do photographing life in the greater New York City area and beyond.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame with a degree in Political Science and Middle Eastern Studies. During my time at school I was Editor of Photography at the ND student magazine, Scholastic, and won 12 awards from the Indiana Collegiate Press Association. My awards helped lead Scholastic to become the number one Student News Magazine in the state of Indiana, and encouraged me to pursue my growing passion for photography.

Upon graduation from Notre Dame I entered into the certificate program for Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the International Center of Photography in New York City, where I studied under field professionals from publications like Fortune Magazine and National Geographic.

I earned certification at ICP, and began to shoot professionally while interning at World Picture Network, also in New York City. Through WpN my pictures began to find a global audience, and appear in a variety of publications, including Newsweek, ABC Online, MSNBC.com, and The New York Times. I also photographed on assignment for publications such as The Financial Times and Capital.

I currently shoot for Sipa Press Photo Agency, and cover high school sports for NYPost.com. My shots have recently been featured in OK! Magazine, the New York Times Best Seller Our Choice by Al Gore, and USA Today.

I shoot with Canon professional equipment and White Lightning Studio Strobes. I have been fortunate enough to take photographs across the United States and internationally, and hope to continue observing and documenting the world through my photos.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about my work. Thank you!
