Early life
editHe was born on 15 July 1958 in Aden in Yemen, where his father (Group Captain T. L. Bingham-Hall) was in command of the Royal Air Force base. Patrick spent his early years in London before emigrating to Australia in 1963.[citation needed]
Education
editHe was educated at Sydney Church of England Grammar School (Shore) and studied philosophy at Macquarie University for one year, before taking up photography at Sydney College of the Arts. He left in his second year to start his own photographic studio, specializing in rock and roll photography.
Early work
editAs a rock and roll photographer, Bingham-Hall worked with bands like Radio Birdman and The Saints. His cover photograph of the Radio Birdman album Living Eyes[3] is a classic of the underground rock scene in Australia.
Career
editHe began photographing architecture in the early 1980s, and travelled the world to study architectural history and to photograph classic buildings. Many of these photographs were included in his first (self-published) book Monumental Irony.[4] In the 1990s he took the photographs for many books on Australian architecture, and was selected as editor of the book that documented the architecture for the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games.[5] He also wrote Austral Eden[6] in this period - an idiosyncratic history of Australian architecture, and contributed articles to magazines in Australia and England.[7]
Pesaro Publishing
editIn 1999, he formed his own publishing company,[8] Pesaro Publishing, which within a few years published many books on Australian architecture with Bingham-Hall acting as both editor and photographer. Majority of his early books for Pesaro were produced in collaboration with Philip Goad,[9] an architectural writer and academic from Melbourne. After publishing Architecture Bali [10] in 2000, Bingham-Hall expanded his publishing into Asia, while continuing to produce books on Australian architecture,[11] writing many of the books himself, particularly on tropical architecture in Asia. He is the author of monographs on WOHA Architects, Guz Architects, Peter Stutchbury, Colin K. Okashimo, K2LD Architects, Cicada Landscape Architects, LOOK Architects, Philip Cox, and Turner Architects. He has written several books on houses in the Asia-Pacific region. In collaboration with WOHA Architects, he wrote Garden City Mega City, [12] which examined the effects of climate change on Asian cities.
Personal life
editPatrick Bingham-Hall has been married to Katrina Bingham-Hall (nee Morrison) since 1994. They have five children. His house in Balmain, Sydney, was designed by Rex Addison.[13] He lived in Singapore for many years, and he now divides his time between Singapore, England, and Australia.
