So, the director and producer of Hollywood, winner of an Emmy award, emerged in addition to his explorations of photographs through hidden stories of the dark opacas of black cinema.

A very familiar number between Hollywood bastidores dirty in the palestra… Daniel Sackheim's career in cinema and television has been available for more than three years; from management to production, who is responsible for episodes of some of the most important series, such as New York Police Blues, Expedientes X, TOzark, Game of Tronos, The Americans, The Leftovers, Lovecraft Country, B,  The Walking Dead…and the list continues.

Aquí, without embargo, will be located in a different territory, and the photography will be based on its passion for visual narration, and the movement will already pass by the definition of the image and its series. Unseen It's a magnificent home for black cinema, with its light and dark scenes. “De niño sufría a miedo paralizante a la darkness”, explained, “me terrorized so much of the criaturas imaginarias that it was hidden from the bedroom or it came into the dark rincones of my armario that a little bit me sleeping with a linterna attached with fire in the hand. ironia (…)”. As a good street photographer, Daniel Sackheim captured contemporary life in the heart of this nocturnal urban jungle, disturbing and claustrophobic.

Mystery and suspense

The aesthetic of the generation is at its peak, inspired by expression and neorrealism… Solitary and phantasmagoric characters are shocked by a large-scale architecture, moved by the callejones laberínticos and some vacíos, bathed in contrasts of light and projected darkness. The world of Orson Welles and Billy Wilder is ours, just as Edward Hopper's photograph is that it will come. So Daniel Sackheim created a surprising space, exploring these “fragments of old subjects present but they have disappeared”.

The contrast between light and darkness creates an atmosphere of latent tension and paranoia, which can change in every second, in every little thing. Farolas perpadeantes, enigmáticas luces fuera de cámara, neones que parecen cobrar vida… This game of lights is skillfully balanced, jugando with distorted urban vistas. “My obsessive curiosity has its origins in the need to reveal secrets that remain hidden, including the most forbidden rincones of the city, to be found in the past, to reveal the secrets of past fantasies of the past,” concludes.

Daniel Sackheim's photography explorations will continue in 2024 in Leica Gallery from Los Angeles, Iconic Images of London and the SE Center for Photography by Carolina del Sur. This is also a book prepared, released for its series Vacancy and throwing Projecting LA., a vast public event of photography and free-air projection.
