Biographical Note
Emil Otto Hoppé was born April 14, 1878 in Munich, Germany, and educated in Vienna and Paris, eventually following his father’s footsteps as a banker. In 1900 he moved to London where he worked in the Deutsche Bank and took up photography as a hobby. In 1903 he was elected to the Royal Photographic Society. He was first recognized as a society portraitist, and in 1907 began his career in earnest as an award-winning photographer, artist, and author. His contributions to the theory and practice of photography have made Hoppé a pioneer in photography as an art medium. Hoppé died December 9, 1972 in London, at the age of 94.
