Born in 1967 in Tel Aviv, Israel, Michael Ackerman moved with his family to New York City in 1974 and began to practice photography as a self-taught artist. He explored the city's streets, nightclubs and various communities. In 1993, he made his first trip to India, to which he returned several times afterwards.

His work is regularly presented in exhibitions and festivals around the world including Les Rencontres d'Arles in 2006 and 2016, Images Singulières in Sète in 2010 and Foto Leggendo in Rome in 2017.
