Hoagland was born in San Diego, California, and educated at the University of California, San Diego. During the Vietnam War, Hoagland applied for and received conscientious objector status, but war was a subject that had a massive impact on his life and death. He photographed the Sandanista Revolution in Nicaragua, after which he moved to El Salvador in 1979. He also photographed in Beirut.
