After leaving Germany, Emil Otto Hoppé moved to London in 1900 and opened a studio there in 1907. In 1909-1910 he co-founded the London Salon of Photography. He worked as a commercial photographer doing celebrity portraits and his first published portfolio focused on the Russian Ballet (1912). He exhibited and published in several countries and worked for Vanity Fair, The Tattler and other periodicals. Hoppé's best known images are the series of travel photographs taken after the first World War.
