Cooper has had a love for capturing images of the big and small for as long as he has had access to a camera, whether it be a point and shoot, professional, or just on a phone.

He is a full-time cook and loves to work in kitchens which does not leave him much time to pursue his photography. Additionally, it’s hard to turn away from a steady paycheck for an extremely intermittent one. While he would love to be a full-time professional photographer, it looks like it will take some time still to break into the industry and find those that will trust him and give him projects, while also recommending him to others.

He looks forward to what he may be able to achieve behind the lens.

Thank you,
