Wayne Hall
I have been a dive professional for the last 5 years and teaching the last 3 years. I have been organizing and leading global dive trips for 4 years. As a diver, I'm active in recreational diving as well as the training officer for a county Public Safety dive team supporting EMS and Police.
I first picked up a camera with artistic intent back in my high school years, but left it behind after I joined the Army. I spent most of my military career in Special Operations in conflict zones where photography was discouraged or not to be shared with the public. I occasionally found myself behind a lens in the Army to gather operational information but couldn't share my photos. After 20 plus years of military adventures, I've hung up the tools of destruction and picked up a camera to document the beauty and adventures in nature. After traveling to Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and South America working with local police and military; today I chose to document the natural beauty in these wild areas. During these new travels I've evolved into a environmental conservationist and I hope my work motivates you to protect our fleeting natural environments for future generations.
