My name is Mike Hacker, but many know me as Hax. I became a professional photographer with my own studio in the mid 80’s then became a filmmaker. Today I run my own video communication business. Throughout that time, I have taken many personal photographs from single random ones to little personal projects.
I had my first personal photographic exhibition in 2004. This year, 2024, I had a joint exhibition with my dear friend and painter Liz Harwood.
You may be forgiven for assuming that Africa plays a big part in my work. You’d be right, but it's not the sum of my personal work. I have photographed many other subjects, and I will be sharing them here.
Sometimes I have find myself taking pictures of subjects without really knowing why I was taking them. I would save them without knowing really why, or so I thought so at the time. Particularly textures, shapes and more abstract framing of certain subjects. Now, in a new phase of personal work, I find myself beginning to understand how some of these seemingly obscure images, are suitable for this new era in my image making.
