Biography
Ian Roop studied photography in Philadelphia, receiving his undergraduate degree in 1999. Over the last five years Ian has returned to mostly photographing and using film cameras from that era to question his surroundings, mainly San Francisco, its residents and the street environments he encounters daily. His work typically explores the larger world, and the unintended consequences of its technology, policies, perception and its politics looking for meaning and underlying systems.
