The Photography Minimalist

Native Dutch photographer and true aquarius Henk Ackermann was born in 1966. At the age of 4 his family immigrated to the small town of Hudsonville in the state of Michigan, U.S.A. Their immigration adventure would last 10 years. This period had a major influence on his photography. Sweet memories remain of an uncomplicated and simplistic lifestyle in the quiet rural farming town of Hudsonville. The sights and sounds of the seventies are still vivid and very much cherished. After buying his first hard-earned SLR (Pentax K1000) in 1979, he eagerly continued his passion for photography upon his return to The Netherlands. After pursuing a successful career in sales, he returned to his passion of photography in 2000 and it immediately felt like coming home. The pleasant memories of an uncomplicated way of life translate in his approach to photography and the focus on his subject.... minimalistic.
