Landscapes, portraits and more from a leading American fashion photographer

Photographed between 2006 and 2018, New York–based photographer Michael Hauptman’s first monograph, Of Matter and Time presents a selection of his personal work exploring broad themes of nature, technology and the cosmos. Despite the ostensibly documentary nature of his work, Hauptman often uses digital manipulation on his photographs, superimposing multiple images onto one another, altering a backdrop or placing a halo-like glow around a subject to emphasize their figure, and to evoke mysteries of time and space. 

From travel photography to luminous landscapes and images of the moon, the photographs included in this volume reflect the breadth of Hauptman’s photographic vision.

Michael Hauptman (b. 1984, Iowa), was raised in a community founded on meditation and eastern philosophy. He started taking photographs in his early teens when his grandparents gave him his first camera. Drawing on both his upbringing and his deep commitment to environmental and social issues, Hauptman’s creative approach looks to examine and represent the intersection between human experience and digital manipulation. Hauptman has produced work for Gucci, Levi’s, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Nike. Magazines: Buffalo Zine, Dazed, Double, Dust, More Or Less, Re-Edition, NYT T Style Magazine, The Face, Vogue Italia. He currently resides and works in New York.
