A 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]
