From 1964, as a staff photographer for the weekly magazine stern, he helped shape the visual language of the German post-war press.

His career gained international recognition when, in 1989, he became the first German photographer to be admitted to the prestigious photo collective Magnum Photos, where he later also became vice-president and president. In addition to photography, Hoepker also made a name for himself as a documentary filmmaker. His work has been exhibited worldwide and published in numerous books and exhibitions.

Hoepker’s style is characterized by empathy, precision, and social engagement – qualities that make him one of the most important representatives of "concerned photography," a form of photography that focuses on social and human themes. His legacy is lasting and of great value to the history of visual journalism.
