Sackheim's photography, which occupies a space dominated by shadows, endeavors to explore a kind of Urban Narrative.

This attraction to the dark and ambiguous stems from his love of Film Noir and the heightened reality embodied by this film language. Like noir, his photography aims to access the subconscious and a world of omnipresent solitude and alienation. It is a pleasure to feature an interview with one of the most influential, gifted photographers & Film directors in Lens Magazine!
