Ronnie Ackling is a photographer and artist from Birmingham England.

He grew up in an ever-changing city with a rich industrial heritage. His work explores the quiet tension that exists between structure and emptiness. Ronnie’s images often probe the overlooked spaces of the urban landscape — where architecture, atmosphere, and solitude meet.

Often, Ronnie creates his images moments before sunrise; this enables the viewer to focus on the fleeting moments when familiar places lose their certainty. This time of day, alongside the presence of fog, transforms the ordinary into something cinematic and dreamlike; light becomes emotion, and distance becomes memory. He uses muted colours and minimalist composition to invite reflection — to ask what remains when clarity fades.

His aim is to capture not just what a place looks like, but how it feels when the world slows down. These images are less about documentation and more about presence — the liminal space between stillness and disappearance.
