Hi, I'm Hopper
Hopper Stone
Armed with a degree in Scandinavian Philology (Yes, that’s a real thing) from the University of Wisconsin, Hopper Stone started his career as a photojournalist in 1988. He lived in Helsinki, Rome and Mexico City while being a photographer for the Black Star photographic agency. After covering world events on 5 continents, he transitioned to shooting on film sets as a unit still photographer in 1997.
“I got tired of getting shot at” is the one sentence answer as to why he made the switch.
“I’m more of a story teller than an artist. My job is lay low, be quiet and just be amongst all of the chaos going on in front of me. Through all of that, I need to filter out what isn’t necessary and include what is necessary to tell the story of what’s going on. It’s like diet photojournalism. I shoot the story, as I see it, of the film being made in front of me. I just see through the noise”.

Fun facts: Hopper speaks 5 languages, has been bitten by sharks so many times he has lost count, and will talk to anyone who is willing to buy him a cup of coffee.
