The photography of Ken W. Hall is familiar, yet alien. It often evokes emotional responses from those who view his stunning images.

Hall is a self taught photographer and began his career in the mid nineteen-sixties while on staff at the Museum of Science and History in Fort Worth, Texas. While at work as an exhibits preparator in the exhibits department he got a call from the director of the Education Department asking him, "Do you want to teach black and white darkroom techniques in the Museum School?" Hall's immediate response was without hesitation, "You bet I do! When do I start?" The reply was, "Tonight at seven."

Then realization set in. He had never been in a working darkroom much less processed film. He had to rebound his thoughts and asked for permission to take the rest of the afternoon off. He set sail for the Public Library to secure a book on black and white film processing. His philosophy became, "In order to know more than the students I only have to be one chapter ahead." And so began a career that now has collectors of his work in twelve countries.

He has been recognized as more than an photographer. Hall is a true artist who happens to work with a camera.

Ken now captures images in digital form and produces collector level prints in both color and black and white on high resolution ink jet printers. The medis he uses are archival inks, acid free fine art papers and archival canvas stretched on custom made frames.

He is co-owner with his wife Penny of BearFeather Studio in Ennis, Montana and is currently working on multiple presentations of his work including a book scheduled for publication in late 2010.
