Mirror Selfie of Dave Cooper

People and their stories.

There’s a big world out there, and I believe I’m here to share what I see with others.

I’ve been making photographs and videos all over the world for nearly 20 years. It feels like a calling. It’s been rewarding creatively and spiritually and in ways that still surprise me. Some say trying to describe a photograph with words is not possible. That’s also how I feel trying to express the way this work has changed me for the better.

The magic in the process of image-making is profound. I feel it more than see it, but it’s there, resonating on a silent, invisible frequency all around us. And when I tap into it—BANG!

I’m based in Baltimore and call the world home.
