About

I’m a photographer, filmmaker and songwriter. My work has a strong focus on people, place, diversity and authenticity. I like to work collaboratively, forming a detailed approach to every aspect of the image making process.

Over the years, I have partnered with a diverse array of brands from food, sport, public institutions and music. I have a voracious appetite for stories and experiences and a curious mind that keeps me exploring the world around and within.

As an artist and entrepreneur, my work has helped to grow small businesses, revitalize city blocks and inspire positive local action.

My first act as a singer-songwriter won accolades from peers and music critics. Since retiring from touring in 2016, I have dedicated himself full-time to a career in photography and filmmaking.

I love meeting new people and using imagery to help businesses reach a broader audience. For commercial photography or filmmaking inquires, please email me at rogerhoover@rogerhoover.com
