From Mr. Zachman: “I’ve always been drawn to nighttime atmospheres. Like many other photographers, I guess, I like the world of Brassai and Weegee. In the past I’ve photographed, in black and white, many parts of the underworld at night. Today, it is with color that I explore it, staying awake throughout the night, even though I am not a sleepwalker, an insomniac or even really a nocturnal person. Simply put, I like photographing nocturnal atmospheres and lighting. I just love the artificial colors, a light upon a face, or even the shadow projected upon a wall that then becomes a screen.
“My images move away from reportage and become impressionist. Ugly and gray during the day, a city becomes attractive at night, or sometimes frightening. The lights change, hot or cold, colliding prettily into a mix of color temperatures. They make faces smooth, mix up ages, blur signs of belonging, and allow silhouettes lit by a street lamp or a car headlight to be discovered. Scrutinizing the city in obscurity and solitude, the photographer hesitates between entering into this nocturnal universe or staying outside it. My photographs are the story of this double attraction.”
