It’s eight in the morning in sunny Los Angeles when we ‘Zoom call’ with photographer Hayley Eichenbaum. Hayley is immaculately put together for this early in the day. She always wakes up between 4 and 6 AM, when she’s creatively at her best.
Eichenbaum’s photographs are part of an ongoing series called The Mother Road, which nods to the moniker for Route 66 – a renowned highway that runs from Chicago to Santa Monica.
From neon-lit motels to convenience stores clad with retro signage, Eichenbaum’s images document the roadside facades she discovered during more than eight road trips across the country’s southwest.
“I hope to capture moments that are reminiscent of classic film sets”
