Josef Hoflehner was born in 1955 in Wels, Austria, when the country was still under

allied occupation. His hauntingly beautiful images raise his earthly subject matter to

an almost mythical level, defining the essence of the place. In these rare and elusive

moments, the natural and the man made are brought together in a poetic interplay

of light and shadow, emptiness and structure. Through his images, we are moved

to a new level of observation and exposed to a world where the chance and an

underlying natural order coexist with our own built environment.

Hoflehner’s prints are found in a constantly growing number of public, private

and corporate collections around the globe; notable collections include Polo Ralph

Lauren, Fidelity Investments, Sprint Nextel and Lane Crawford. Hoflehner exhibits

regularly in New York City, Los Angeles, Berlin and London. He was voted Nature

Photographer of the Year 2007 and is set to release the tenth monograph of his

work later this year.
