Ackerman is an American photographer, his pictures, getting rid of the traditional report’s constraints, confuse geographical borders and definite a space which, out of any narration, is a pure mental creation. Served by surreal lights, deep blacks and exploded grain, his pictures are the expression of feelings like tenderness, love, loneliness, and restlessness mixed together, and reveal something of the artist’s psychic functioning, of his affects and obsessions.

I've included the work of Ackerman in my research as he produces his work on film, although I'm unsure of the technique he uses to create the final look. I find the work very intense, the use of blacks and haziness of the images really are different to that of most photographers work I have come across and this technique is possibly something which would like try within my own work.
