Dave Hacker
The day I loaded my camera with slide film was the turning point in a life-long love affair with photography. I found the whole process fascinating. My dream was to achieve the level of quality I’d seen in the vibrant, colour-rich landscapes, portraits and architectural images that I’d seen in magazines, like National Geographic, which also inspired me to travel with my camera.
A few years later this vision was re-awakened by a different world of photography, produced by photographic artists like Michael Kenna, Ernst Haas and, more recently, Hiroshi Sugimoto and Saul Leiter. Their images showed another way, not completely driven by technical perfection, but with a more evolved eye and a sense of artistic composition.
I continued to experiment with a wide variety of cameras, 35mm, digital slr, medium and large format cameras, and many different types of film.
Almost two decades on, my camera has taken me to China, Thailand, Japan and the US. I’ve been fortunate enough to have my work printed in over 30 photographic magazines, both here in the UK and abroad, and to have had photographs exhibited in major galleries like Eyestorm in London and the Photographers Gallery in Los Angeles.
