Ján Halaša was not only a photographer, but also a very active organiser of hikes, mountain sports and various expeditions. He produced tourist and geography publications and his pictures eventually comprised a visual tourist guide to the mountain parts of Turiec, Orava and Liptov. In photography, he created a specific synthesis of monumentalism and warm emotionality.
