Bio
Perry Hall’s life is a testament to resilience and determination. Born to outlaw biker parents on Maryland’s Eastern Shore and navigating a troubled youth, Perry faced homelessness and societal stigma but refused to yield. His passion for skateboarding and street life led him to discover photography in 2014, setting off a self-taught journey in Rome, Italy, with just a skateboard and a Canon AE-1 camera. Now residing in Dallas, Texas, Perry continues to refine his artistic vision through projects like “In the Mouth of the Wolf” and teaches street photography, while also co-founding Daylight School in Rome, which specializes in street and documentary photography. His story illustrates the transformative power of perseverance and creativity in overcoming life’s obstacles.
