Rip Hopkins's photographic style is wonderfully scatty. His body of work is a healthy mish-mash of genres, techniques, formats and moods; in colour and black and white, including both reportage and staged photography. But a consistent thread throughout is his penchant for portraiture. And somewhat off-kilter portraiture at that. He accumulates individual portraits to form a series that, as a whole, represents an entire community - a circus in Riga for example.
