Ronnie Ackling

Photographer Ronnie really enjoy visiting working towns and cities and try’s to capture an honest point of view of them through the lens of his camera.

His photography generally centres around people and the built-up environment, especially the contrasts and juxtapositions between old and new, natural and unnatural and how times and people change.

Capturing time is at the heart of what he does, but he doesn’t really See himself as just a 'documentary photographer'. “Before I went to Dudley my question was 'Is there more to Dudley than a Zoo and a Castle?' Still working on the answer. I recently went to Port Talbot and asked 'Is it just a Steel Works?' and the answer is no.”
