Perry Hall is an American photographer known for documenting street life, subcultures, and contemporary urban environments with clarity and intention. His work balances strong visual storytelling with authenticity, capturing human presence, tension, and atmosphere in unscripted public spaces.

Hall’s approach is shaped by years spent working on long-form projects across Europe and the United States. After relocating to Rome in 2014, he taught himself photography on the street, developing projects such as In the Mouth of the Wolf and Street Skateboarding: The Act of Resistance. His time in Italy also included extended work in Sardinia, alongside ongoing projects in the U.S., including Devil Lived and Sin St.

His photographs have been published internationally, including in The New Yorker, and he has received multiple international photography awards. Hall regularly collaborates with brands, publications, and cultural institutions, bringing a documentary-driven approach to commissioned work.

Based in Texas, Hall continues to produce long-form personal projects while leading workshops internationally. His work is defined by attention to detail, cultural awareness, and the ability to translate real-world experience into compelling visual narratives.
