Drawing from his background as a jazz musician and the son of an architect, Vacca’s photographs emerge from the interplay of improvisation and structure in everyday objects and spaces. Through rhythm, movement, texture, shape, and form, he captures a visual dance of contrasts - echoing the notion that “architecture is frozen music.”
Vacca invites viewers to shift their perspective, uncovering rhythm and order in the overlooked. His work offers a sense of calm and balance in the mundane, finding harmony where it’s least expected.
Originally from New York, Vacca relocated to Los Angeles in 2021, where he currently lives and works.
