Founder
Greg Cooper is a native of Northern California and grew up in the Central
Valley where he spent his formative years around agriculture and learned
to work hard and appreciate what the world has to offer. His free time
was spent on exploration trips to the Pacific Coast or the Sierra Nevada
Mountains.
In 1975, Cooper received his first camera as a birthday gift from his parents and thus began his adventure in photography. The camera was a 110 Focal instant camera with a pop flash. His first photo was a portrait of the neighbors who had attended the gathering.
He took several photography classes during high school and then worked for the school paper and yearbook in his first exposure to photojournalism and black and white photography.
Cooper graduated on to more serious study while attending the University of California at Davis where he obtained an Engineering degree. There he studied under Roland Petersen who had spent some time working with Ansel Adams. During his University time he worked on the staff of The California Aggie where he served as a staff photographer and picture editor. To augment his desire for sports photography, he did an internship and later served as a stringer for The Reporter in Vacaville to cover NFL, MLB and the NBA.
Upon graduation he found an opportunity to work in Europe with Gepa Pressefoto, an Austrian Sports Photo agency along with Reuters and the Associated Press where he worked on World Cup Events and Pre Olympic Events.
During his time in Europe he traveled around to ten different countries doing travel photography for two stock agencies.
He makes his home in Boston, Massachusetts, which is a great base to travel around the East Coast to document the charm of New England. He continues to shoot travel and documentary photography.
He keeps pushing the cutting edge of technology with the digital revolution, but he is a firm believer in image honesty using the computer as a tool to enhance his work and help him in his endeavor to capture the beauty the world has to offer. Mr. Cooper's greatest joys is sharing the beauty in these images with others.
He has been published all over the world including: Sports Illustrated, Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, Der Welt, Der Spiegel, The Sacramento Bee, California Aggie, California Grower, Sport Zeitung and The Reporter.
