Photographed between 2006 and 2018 – this body of work is a personal meditation on the interdependence between humans, nature and technology. It asks the question: Will we use advancements in technology to bring us closer to one another and to our planet? Or, will “progress” continue to isolate humanity – distancing us from one another, removing us from the natural world, and the human experiences which sustain us? I will forever choose to believe the former. 'Of Matter and Time' is Hauptman's first monograph. He works with a variety of brands Gucci, Levi’s, Louis Vuitton, Marni, Nike, among others. His photographs have appeared in publications such as 'Buffalo Zine', 'Dazed, Double', 'Dust', 'More Or Less', 'Re-Edition', 'The New York Times T Style Magazine', 'The Face', 'Vogue' Italia.
