Fritz Hoffmann is recognized for his decades-long photography of China and his work for National Geographic.
Fritz became the first Western photographer since 1949 to be granted resident journalist accreditation with permission from China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be based in Shanghai. That city was his home from 1995 to 2008. He studied Mandarin at Shanghai University.
Published in news and feature publications worldwide, Fritz's photography of China during its boom years of economic growth contributed significantly to the understanding of contemporary China in the Western Hemisphere. The twenty-four-year collection of this work is a valued visual record of the period of reform and opening in the Communist nation.
As a contributing photographer to NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazine, Fritz has brought visual narratives of society, culture, the environment, and global economics to a global audience. His work for that publication has spanned from the Three Parallel Rivers in China to the Danish military dog sledge patrol in Northern Greenland, archeological discoveries in Angkor Wat, Cambodia, the worldwide study of super-agers, and Superfund sites, and glacial erratics in the United States.
Today Fritz makes his home in Boston, Massachusetts. While he no longer dreams in Mandarin, his interest in China remains strong, and he travels there whenever possible. His story on traditional Chinese medicine was published in the January 2019 edition of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
