Thank you for visiting NealHatch.com, a space where I bring together my passion for photography and the art of interpretation—both visual and medical. As a radiologist, my profession revolves around seeing beyond the surface, analyzing subtle patterns, contrasts, and structures. Photography, in many ways, mirrors this skill—it’s about observation, perception, and capturing the detail of the world.
This website serves as both a gallery and a personal journey, showcasing my evolving craft as a beginner photographer eager to enhance my skills in composition planning and post processing. Just as medical imaging allows me to find meaning within complex structures, photography enables me to tell stories through landscapes that inspire, compositions that evoke emotion, and light that reveals hidden beauty.
In my Photo Gallery, you’ll find a curated selection of my work from this year, available in multiple display options. I will be adding pieces on a weekly basis along with narratives. Each image is an exploration of perspective, shaped by both my scientific background and creative curiosity. While I’m still refining my craft, I approach each shot with the same dedication I bring to my medical work—seeking precision, depth, and a narrative within every frame.
Feel free to explore, connect, and immerse yourself in this journey with me as I delve into the different forms of photography. Whether you’re here to browse, share insights, or request a special piece, I’d love to hear from you.
Thank you for supporting my photography—and for joining me on this path of discovery.

A Bitterroot Night to Remember On a cool summer night just outside Hamilton, Montana, near the Goat Mountain trailhead, I set up my Canon R5 and L-series 15–35mm lens to try and capture something I’d only hoped for — a clear Milky Way over the Bitterroot Valley. What I didn’t expect was the ghostly green…
The Moment of Arrival Crossing into Canada, the landscape stretched wide before us—an expanse of golden prairie rolling toward distant mountains. At Maskinonge Overlook, just inside the entrance to Waterton Lakes National Park, we found ourselves in a transition zone where the open plains yield to the rugged peaks of the Rockies. The view here is one…
