The Artists: Christopher Hall


About the Work
Christopher Hall struggled to define his role as a new father until he found himself in a mommy-and-me swimming class with his infant daughter and couldn’t stop smiling.  The process opened him up spiritually and emotionally and the resulting photographs document the sometimes hilarious, sometimes mystical ritual from a unique perspective thanks to his tiny GoPro underwater camera. www.penumbra-pictures.com
