Notes
If you follow photography, you know that artists tend to shoot standing on their feet. That is, capturing an image that is directly in front of the camera. Jenn Ackerman's Frozen series began in the same way; she shot scenes and portraits of people living and thriving in the cold. Down the Hill was part of a follow up series of photographs of the Minnesota winter that was shot with a different perspective. In this case, Ackerman shot the photo while she was hanging out of a helicopter a few hundred feet above Theodore Wirth Park in Minneapolis. Jenn Ackerman is an American photographer based in Minneapolis. She was named a McKnight Fellow in 2012. With her firm DBA Ackerman + Gruber, she works for editorial and advertising clients including Esquire, People, Fortune, The New York Times, and many others. Her work has been focused on how a place defines its people in environmental portraits and landscapes.
