Presentation
Thomas Hoeffgen is a German photographer born in 1957. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn where he works with several different international magazines in the advertising field.
He started practicing photography when he was young, while he was doing his social service in a ship with young criminals. He decided then to photograph these adolescents in spontaneous scenes of their daily life on board.
At the end of his social service, he moved to Spain where he became the assistant of a photograph, before even finishing his photography studies. It was then that he started his work for big fashion brands and in advertising.
