Waiting for the Sun

Hardcover English 72 pages 37.85 × 29.46 cm

Description

In “Waiting for the Sun,” the father-and-son duo Josef and Jakob Hoflehner present a nostalgic and cinematic photographic survey of classic American automobiles. Captured across the vast landscapes of the United States, the project features iconic vintage cars—from chrome-heavy Cadillacs to sleek muscle cars—standing as silent monuments to a bygone era of design and freedom. The photography is characterized by a warm, sun-drenched palette and a quiet, almost reverent stillness that emphasizes the structural elegance of these “sculptures on wheels.” Published by Most Press, the large-format volume serves as both a historical document of automotive history and a poetic meditation on the enduring spirit of the American road trip.

Josef Hoflehner, Waiting for the Sun

Feature The Eye of Photography Magazine L'Œil de la Photographie November 22, 2017
Waiting for the Sun is Josef Hoflehner’s first all-color photobook, showcasing his shift from dramatic black-and-white landscapes to vibrant images. The series highlights the golden age of the American car industry during the 1960s and 1970s, an era known for exceptional car designs. Preferring large format and empty spaces, Hoflehner’s work is praised for engaging viewers deeply, encouraging them to reflect and interpret each photograph. The book includes an introduction by his son Jakob Hoflehner and is self-published. It was also featured in an exhibition in Brussels from September to November 2017. Read Article
