Biography
editMoshe (Moses) Hacmon was born in Tel Aviv, Israel, immigrating to the US in 2002.[4][5] He studied cinematography and fine art at the Avni Institute of Art and Design and attended the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. In 2006, he completed his Bachelor of Architecture from the Southern California Institute of Architecture with AIA honors.[5][6]
Hacmon married American internet personality Trisha Paytas in December 2021, the couple currently live in Los Angeles.[7] In February 2022, Paytas announced that she was pregnant with her first child.[8] Their first child, Malibu Barbie Paytas-Hacmon, was born in September 2022.[9] In December 2023, Paytas announced that she was pregnant with her second daughter, to be named Elvis.[10]
Photography career
editA 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.[9][11] 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".[12]
In an interview with VoyageLA, Hacmon describes Faces of Water, as "part art, part science, part spiritual awakening." [5] In 2013, Hacmon's art exhibition Faces of Water was first displayed by The Hub LA, in the Arts District in Downtown Los Angeles.[13]
