About

CHRISSIE HALL is a director/photographer specialising in advertising, fashion, portraiture and social documentary. She strives to invoke and capture the enigmatic and daring element of her subjects amid surreal environments. Her art emphasises the bond between how individuals and their surroundings can influence one another to produce bold, startling and breath-taking results.  

Hall's vision blends vibrant hues with dreamlike narratives, creating scense that merge the familiar with the otherworldly. Her portfolio is a fusion of colour, imagination and cinematic artistry that bridges the gap between the known and the "other"

Having assisted world-renowned photographers, Spencer Tunick, Rankin, Diana Scheunemann and being mentored by Tracey Moffatt (for her first book), Hall’s extensive folio of photographic work questions what is deemed as the norm, bridging the gap between the familiar and the ‘other’.  

Hall was the co creative director for XRay Doll (a creative production company). Hall has been accepted into the AIPP (Australian Institute for Professional Photography).

Hall is now officially represented by FR13NDS agency Sydney. For commercial and advertising bookings, please contact producer This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. at FR13NDS Agency
