Hi, I'm Cooper...

Since the third grade when I was handed my first disposable camera, I have been captivated with the art and science of photography. With every following exposure I have only become more enamored with the intimate exploration of nature and the human spirit that a camera allows. It has been a great honor to be allowed to not only interact with these moments but to preserve them as well. To maintain the intimacy and authenticity of these interactions, I seek to use natural light and no retouching, creating a memory of these people and places as they were in their most raw form. I have found through the years that my preferred medium for this mission is film. It's delicate and imperfect nature lends itself to the images I seek to capture. However, I do like to apply the same thought process to my digital work. I feel that placing limitations on such a unlimited format, strengthens the connection between myself and the camera.

If you have a memory you want to capture whether it be your baby's first steps, the reading of your vows, an intimate portrait or any moment in time, I want to help you preserve it.
