Evocative Sound and Visuals is the home for unique environmental recordings, sound effects, and photography meticulously captured, thoughtfully crafted and passionately preserved by field recordist and photographer Richard Alan Hannon. Listen as high-quality recordings transport you to places you’ve been and locations you’ve only imagined. Eavesdrop on sounds not heard with the naked ear.
Sadly, our natural soundscapes are changing right before our very ears. Through careful listening, he seeks to celebrate what surrounds us. Join him in appreciating the sounds we often ignore, and in safeguarding the ones we risk losing.
Hannon’s interest in capturing evocative sounds found all around enables him to meet new people, experience new things and tell interesting stories in new ways. It is a natural extension of his work as a newspaper photojournalist.
Hannon won first place in the Natural Disasters category of Pictures of the Year International’s (POYi) 63rd annual competition for his work during Hurricane Katrina.
