Photography career

A central focus of Hacmon's career has been the study of water's composition, properties, and movement, which led him to develop a photographic technique, Faces of Water.

Inspired by movement of water, Hacmon uses nano-film technology to captures water's invisible forms. Kyle VanHemert of Wired explains Hacmon's technique uses a special type of film with a layer of liquid iron that "records the movement of the water itself".

In an interview with VoyageLA, Hacmon describes Faces of Water, as "part art, part science, part spiritual awakening." In 2013, Hacmon's art exhibition Faces of Water was first displayed by The Hub LA, in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles.
