'''Hanson Carroll''' (November 15, 1928 – November 23, 2013) was a professional photographer noted for his images of wildlife, outdoor sports, and rural New England life. His work appeared in publications such as ''Vermont Life'', ''Ski'', ''Life'', and ''Sports Illustrated'', and he authored several photo‑illustrated articles on farm life, hunting, fishing, and sailing. Himself an avid outdoorsman, he was an ardent participant in the activities he photographed and wrote about.

===Early freelance work===
While on the staff of ''Valley News'', Carroll sometimes took news photographs. By the mid-1950s, he had begun work as a specialist photographer for both that paper and the UPI wire.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/><ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 1983"/> He soon branched out into freelance work and in 1955 completed some of his first commissions, including a syndicated photo feature about a woman collegiate sports car racer that appeared in newspapers' Sunday supplements<ref name="This Week Magazine Jul 1955"/> and a ''New York Times'' photo spread about a Korean refugee family in Hanover, New Hampshire.<ref name="New York Times Oct 1955"/> That year, he also began a three-year association with the King Features Syndicate, beginning with a photo feature on a student logrolling event at a New Hampshire prep school.<ref name="Steubenville Herald Star Jun 1955"/> The following year and thereafter, he prepared photo spreads for the syndicate on an Olympic skier from his hometown (1956),<ref name="Joplin Globe Jan 1956"/> a pair of Americans who made a low-budget ski holiday in Europe (1956),<ref name="Helena Independent Record Nov 1956"/> the operators of a weather station in the harsh winter climate of New Hampshire's Mount Washington (1956),<ref name="Portsmouth Times Dec 1956"/> and a motorcycle race in Franconia, New Hampshire (1958).<ref name="Middletown Journal Aug 1958"/>
===''Ski'' magazine===
In 1955 he also began a freelance association with Ski magazine. That year, he contributed photos to an article on the same Olympic skier he would later photograph for King Features.<ref name="Ski Nov 1955"/> In 1957, ''Ski'' showed one of his photos on its front cover.<ref name="Ski Mar 1957"/> Thereafter, his photos appeared regularly in the magazine until the early 1960s, including issues published every year between 1956 and 1961.{{refn|group=note|Carroll published photos in ''Ski'' in 1956,<ref name="Ski Nov 1956"/> 1957,<ref name="Ski Mar 1957"/> 1958,<ref name="Ski Jan 1958"/> 1959,<ref name="Ski Oct 1959"/> 1960,<ref name="Ski Nov 1960"/> and 1961.<ref name="Ski Dec 1961"/> }}
===''Vermont Life''===
In 1956 he began a long relationship with ''Vermont Life'' magazine.

===Other freelance work===

===Freelance work and personal recreation===
From the late 1960s through the end of his career, Carroll frequently took photos of the outdoor sports in which he himself engaged. In 1968, he took photos for an article in ''American Sportsman'' magazine on snowshoeing as a sport.<ref name="American Sportsman Jan 1968"/> In 1970, he helped illustrate an ''American Sportsman'' special issue on the classic hunting dog.<ref name="American Sportsman 1970"/> During the next five years, his photos appeared in other major outdoor sports magazines, including ''Field & Stream'', ''Outdoor Life'', and ''Sports Afield''.<ref name="Statesville Record Jan 1974"/> In 1972, he provided photos for a ''Sports Illustrated'' book on the training of hunting dogs.<ref name="Dog Training 1972"/> By 1983, the mass-market periodicals ''National Geographic'' and ''Look'' could be added to this list.<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 1983"/> In 1973, his photos illustrated a book on wetland wildfowl hunting,<ref name="The wildfowler's world 1973"/> and, a year later, he contributed photos to a book on fly casting.<ref name="Fly casting with Bill Cairns 1974"/>
===Late career===
During the 1970s and 1980s Carroll's work was profiled in articles that appeared in the ''New York Times'', ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', and other newspapers.<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 1983"/><ref name="Statesville Record Jan 1974"/><ref name="New York Times Nov 1976"/><ref name="Burlington Daily Times Dec 1969"/> In the mid-1970s, Carroll bought a trailerable cruising sailboat and began sailing in Atlantic coast waters as far north as Nova Scotia and as far south as the Bahamas.<ref name="New York Times Jan 1975"/><ref name="New York Times Jan 1976"/> In the mid-1990s, he moved to the Florida Keys and there spent much of his time taking saltwater fishing photos.<ref name="New York Times Jun 1996"/> In 1996, the ''New York Times'' included Carroll in a feature on a century's worth of photos in its magazine.<ref name="New York Times Jun 1996"/> He died in 2013 while living in the Keys.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/>
===Style and methods===
Carroll took most of his photos outdoors. Many of them recorded subjects with which he was most familiar. He used a variety of small cameras. He shot mostly in natural light, using both color and black and white films. He frequently posed his human subjects. His photos were often cropped from the original for publication.<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 1983"/> In 2006, the editors of ''Vermont Life'' described the work that went into making the highly-regarded cover photo for the Summer issue of 1970. They explained that Carroll and the magazine's art director carefully arranged the scene. Although staged, they said, the photo—showing a young girl and older woman shucking corn on a porch overlooking a bucolic farm scene—depicted a situation that was not uncommon in rural Vermont at that time.<ref name="Vermont Life Aug 2006"/> In a book on rural Vermont, author Cameron Clifford called the photo probably the magazine's "most iconic".<ref name="Farms, Flatlanders, and Fords 2011"/>
After Carroll's death a reporter wrote, "He was a participant, not just an observer", adding that he "loved to fly and sport fish, hunt, ski, snowshoe, sail, canoe, kayak, and ride and race enduro, or off-road, motorcycles and sports cars."<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/> He would sometimes send proposals to magazine publishers for articles and photo spreads that he thought would interest them.<ref name="Burlington Daily Times Dec 1969"/><ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/> He also took photos without any immediate purpose but simply in hope that a media organization could someday use them.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/>
He advised amateur photographers to add a touch of red to color photos, fill the frame with the main subject of the photo, avoid shooting when the sun is overhead, and vary the camera position—sometimes low, sometimes high.<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 9 1983"/>
He also suggested low light rather than bright, particularly for color work. He said photographers should look for unusual points of view; he said, "Lots of people stand at the shore and take pictures aimed toward the water. Go into the water and shoot toward land."<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 9 1983"/> {{refn|group=note|His other tips included: <blockquote> * When taking pictures of dogs or cats, focus on their noses, not their eyes. * Put a polarizing filter on your lens; it enriches color. * Lenses are most sharp at an aperture setting of f/5.6. * To blur snowfall, set your camera at a shutter speed of 1/30 of a second and your lens opening at f/4 or f/2.8. * For greater depth of field, focus one-third of the way into the shot. * When photographing people, it's very effective if you have them touching an arm around the shoulder or holding hands. * To create strong pictures, be aware of every part of the frame before you snap your shutter. The corners are just as important as the middle. * Focus up rather than down at the subject. It allows you to capture the sparkle in someone's eyes.<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 9 1983"/></blockquote> }}
In the mid-1970s, Carroll's work received praise from journalists, one saying some of his photos were magnificent and another praising a particularly difficult shot.{{refn|group=note|In 1974, a reporter praised the photos Carroll published in ''Wildflowler's World'', writing, "The photographs in this book are, in a word, magnificent".<ref name="Gazette Mail Feb 1974"/> That year, another reporter credited Carroll with achieving a particularly difficult hunting photo, writing, "Perhaps the most difficult photograph to make successfully is one of a dead duck. Carroll does it perfectly in a tightly cropped shot of blue and brown wing feathers over a brightly scaled foot beside a decoy."<ref name="Statesville Record Jan 1974"/>}}
==Author==
In 1958 Carroll wrote and photo-illustrated a ''Vermont Life'' article on a well-equipped new cattle and dairy farm in Norwich, Vermont.<ref name="Vermont Life 1958"/> In the same issue, he co-authored and photo-illustrated an article on a small manufacturer of medical equipment operating out of a rural barn in Woodstock, Vermont.<ref name="Vermont Life 1958-02"/><ref name="Bennington Evening Banner Mar 1958"/> That year, he also wrote and photo-illustrated an article on farm electrification for a journal called ''Electricity on the Farm''.<ref name="Electricity on the Farm Oct 1958"/> In 1965, Carroll wrote and photo-illustrated a ''Vermont Life'' article called "You Don't Take Her Hunting, She Takes You" about a dog used for winter rabbit hunting .<ref name="Vermont Life 1965"/> His writings and photographs also appeared together in magazine articles published in the late 1960s and early 1970s, including a 1968 article on snowshoeing for ''American Sportsman'',<ref name="American Sportsman Jan 1968"/> a 1970 article on biking in Vermont for ''Vermont Life'',<ref name="Vermont life Summer 1970"/> and two 1971 articles on other subjects for that magazine.<ref name="Vermont life Summer 1971"/><ref name="Vermont life Winter 1971"/>
During the 1970s he wrote three ''New York Times'' articles about trailering the sailboat he owned,<ref name="New York Times Jan 1975"/><ref name="New York Times Jan 1976"/><ref name="New York Times Jan 1978"/> and one about kayaking.<ref name="New York Times Mar 1977"/> He also wrote a ''Vermont Life'' article on a blacksmith,<ref name="Vermont life Summer 1975"/> and an article in ''Rudder'' magazine on trailerable boats in Texas.<ref name="Rudder Aug 1975"/>
In 1978 Carroll told an interviewer that writing for publication made a photographer more versatile. He said the advantage was not that he got paid for his articles but that the work enabled him to "operate in so many more fields". He said that when conducting an interview, he took photos first and asked his questions later, saving the "tough questions" for the end.<ref name="Photographer's market 1978"/>
==Teacher==
In the mid-1980s Carroll gave small-group photography sessions at the Killington Ski Resort.<ref name="New York Times Jul 1984"/> A participant said the classes, "included 14 hours of instruction that broke down somewhat as follows: a discussion of cameras, lenses, film, equipment, lighting, and so-called tricks of the trade." He said, "Processing color and black-and-white film without a dark room was also demonstrated."<ref name="Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 1983"/>
==Personal life and family==
Carroll's father, Marshall Carroll, was a salesman for steel manufacturing companies.<ref name="Bennington Banner Oct 1974"/><ref name="Lehigh Alumni Bulletin 1923"/> His mother, Josephine Wright Carroll, was a homemaker.<ref name="US Census 1930"/><ref name="Marriage 1950"/> He had an older brother, Marshall Carroll, Jr.<ref name="US Census 1930"/> In the late 1930s, the family moved from Buffalo to Hartland, Vermont.<ref name="US Census 1940"/><ref name="Lehigh Alumni Bulletin 1934"/>
Carroll and his wife Louise had one child, a daughter named Mia.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/> In 1956, the couple divorced. Two years later, he married Gloria Densmore, a radiologist who shared his love of sports car rallies and MG T-type cars.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/> They had two sons, Jay H. Carroll and Chris R. Carroll.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/>
On his Norwich farm Carroll had a kennel where he boarded and trained dogs for use on both woodland and waterfowl hunts.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/>
In about 1973 Carroll bought a Paceship 23 trailerable sloop from a boatyard in Nova Scotia.<ref name="New York Times Jan 1975"/><ref name="New York Times Jan 1976"/> He and his family used the craft to sail the New England and Mid-Atlantic coasts in the warm months and, via trailering, to sail off Florida and in the Caribbean in the colder ones.<ref name="New York Times Jan 1976"/> He wrote, "We soon got proficient at setting the rigging quickly and were able to go from the highway to a boat under full sail, with the coffee on, in fifteen minutes.<ref name="New York Times Jan 1975"/> The boat, called "Infinity"," slept four in tiny quarters. It had a stub keel and transom-hung rudder. Its set of sails included mainsail and jib, genoa and spinnaker. It used a small outboard motor for maneuvering near shore.<ref name="New York Times Jan 1975"/>
Carroll lost most of his photo archive in a 1981 fire that severely damaged the farmhouse in Norwich, but he was able to replenish the archive and rebuild the structure.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/>
In 1974 a book reviewer called it "incongruous" that Carroll was "one of the most successful outdoor photographers in the land", since he was a person "whose middle-aged cameras, like his canoes, motorcycles, guns and rods are more toys to him than tools of his profession."<ref name="Statesville Record Jan 1974"/> A year later, an interviewer described Carroll as, "probably the most featured photographer in Vermont Life's 30-year history", saying that "when he occasionally sits down in front of a typewriter, the results aren't bad at all, but he'd much rather sit down in a kayak and shoot down some rushing white water or get out in the woods to hunt."<ref name="Vermont life Summer 1975"/>
After a few years of wintering in Florida, Carroll moved there permanently. Following the death of his wife Gloria in 1997, he settled on Plantation Key, an island in the upper Keys, south of Key Largo.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/>
During the last decades of his life, he continued to photograph outdoor sports, particularly saltwater fishing. He also continued to be an active participant in outdoor activities, including bicycle riding and trailering his skiff to favored fishing spots.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/> Having long been a problem drinker, he gave up alcohol when he turned 80 and remained sober until his death.<ref name="Valley News Jan 2014"/> He suffered from dementia during his last years and died peacefully at home on November 23, 2013.<ref name="Valley News Dec 2013"/>
