Born and raised in Indiana, Hoffmeyer worked in high school as a yearbook photographer and as a lab technician at the local weekly newspaper.

After two years in south Florida, Hoffmeyer moved to Richmond, Virginia in 1989 and began doing freelance photography in 1993. He has handled recurring assignments for the New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Los Angeles Times, the Associated Press and others. His work has been selected to appear in Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated, U. S. News and World Report, MSNBC Pictures of the Week, BBC World News and hundreds of other newspapers and magazines.
