ROGER HOOPER WILDLIFE
PHOTOGRAPHY AT OXO TOWER
Roger Hooper is a photographer who is
passionate about wildlife and the
environment. He has photographed many
extraordinary aspects of our planet and
sees photography as a way of informing
others of the frailty of the world around us.
An exhibition of his beautiful wildlife
photography will take place at Oxo Tower
Wharf (GALLERY@OXO) from 1 to 17
August. An important aspect of Roger’s
work is his strong association with WWF
and he has photographed a number of
their projects. Roger’s photographs have
featured in several WWF publications, in
his books Dotted Plains, Spotted Game,
Art in the Wild, Focus on the Wild and in
his latest book: Latitude.
In Latitude, the magnificent portraits
are both dignified and warm. They are the
product of Roger Hooper’s painstaking
efforts and dedication to wildlife and
demonstrate his superb knowledge of
animal behaviour, careful planning and
meticulous photographic technique. This
series of portraits allows us to experience
some of the most stunning moments of
Roger’s travels across the globe,
In June, Roger joined photographer
and founder Margot Raggett MBE, and
renowned photographer Tristan Dicks,
for the 2025 Leopard Festival at Kukaya
Camp in South Luangwa, Zambia, in
association with The Bushcamp Company.
All proceeds from the Oxo Tower
