Visual Perspective — Thomas Hoepker

Eye of the Beholder

Thomas Hoepker is a German photographer and documentary filmmaker. Since the 1960s, he has helped define photojournalism, mainly through his empathetic lens. His work, often described as intense, represents numerous moments in time. The Ernst Leitz Museum in Wetzlar, Germany, is presenting the Thomas Hoepker—Image Maker exhibit through July 17. It comprises a broad range of pieces from his life’s work, including very recent, never-seen-before pictures.
