Roger Hopgood is a British artist and writer whose work centres on ideas of landscape. Completing his MA in fine art at the Slade School of Art in the 1980s, Hopgood has more recently completed a PhD in art practice at Goldsmiths College. The subject of his PhD research was the Picturesque Photograph and its Vantage Point. Hopgood's photographic assemblage work and writing continue to interrogate the meaning of landscape and the ways in which we tend to perceive it. In a recent essay for Esse Magazine, entitled Landscape Photography and its Temporal Register, he challenged traditional ideas of time and instantaneity in the landscape photograph.
