== Artistic Practice ==
While speaking about his practice Hatleberg explained, "I feel a specific devotion to the unknown. It’s a kind of worship. When I stumble into the right person and place and feeling, I want to go all the way in and let it wash over me. In those rare moments, the world is so overwhelmingly generous; everything feels imbued with reverence and wonder."<ref name=":1">{{Cite web|url=https://hcponline.org/spot/traveling-through-the-dark/|title=Traveling Through the Dark {{!}} Houston Center for Photography|last=Brooks|first=Ashley|date=2018-09-24|website=hcponline.org|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-11}}</ref> Driving is an integral element to how Hatleberg creates his work and he frequently discusses this when asked about his photographic practice, "When I was a child, the only way my parents could get me to fall asleep was to put me in the car and drive around the block. Maybe it was the sound of tires on cement, or the rush of the wind pouring in that sedated me. Perhaps this is an origin story, why my work is still so much about driving."
In a published conversation with fellow photographer Matthew Genitempo, Hatleberg noted that "Chance and accident are the foundation of my entire practice. I start out with a vague notion, aiming towards a region I’m interested in, then wait until something feels right. It’s purely visceral. I like driving long distances, looking around, making it up as I go. It’s a loose approach that favors intuitive thinking over analytical design. Then, when I finally find a place, there’s no mistaking it; there’s an undeniable atmospheric weight. I can feel it come over me. A place that’s a sure thing will almost feel like a stage."
According to the artist, his photographs are intended to function as "a fiction that is more real than reality."
=== American Tradition of Photography ===
During an interview with the [[Birmingham Museum of Art]] Hatleberg articulated that he identifies most with "an American tradition of photography—from [[Walker Evans]] to [[William Eggleston]]. They are my heroes, but it’s undoubtedly a different time. I think it’s essential to take from tradition without being bound to it—to author one’s own time."

=== Whitney Biennial 2019 ===
Hatleberg's work was recently featured in the [[2019 Whitney Biennial]]. The curatorial statement by [[Rujeko Hockley]] and [[Jane Panetta]] details, "Much of the art that we selected for the 2019 Biennial was steeped in socio-political concerns - an engagement important to us as curators - while at the same time remaining open ended and hopeful."

=== Publications ===
In 2015, TBW Books published Hatleberg's first monograph, ''Lost Coast''. Throughout the series, "Hatleberg presents an episodic narrative about [[Eureka, California]]. Intimate portraits of town and people function like a collection of short stories, building to an understanding of place. The pictures live between extremes, between the grand and the granular, between the breathtaking natural landscape and the grim realities of industrial decline."
