About Me

I'm a professional landscape and aerial photographer, born in Carlisle 17th April 1965 and brought up in Keswick in the Lake District, North West England. After several years living in London and travelling extensively in the Middle East and Northern Africa doing reportage photography, I decided to put down roots in Piedmont North West Italy, where I've been living since 1993. For the past ten years or more I've dedicated my work around promoting this beautiful corner of Italy and in particular into my personal project "EARTHSCAPES", capturing the Piedmont landscape from a thought evoking point of view. Hanging out of a helicopter at up to three thousand feet above the ground I found a new perspective for my ever curious photographers eye. A new dimension, where my camera becomes my paintbrush and the landscape my ever changing canvas, suspended between reality and abstraction, creating Land Art without coming into direct contact with the land. My images are created by a careful selection of form, colour and composition, I utilize the landscape, that has been transformed by a combination of man and nature, but I personally leave no trace of my passage upon the ground.I hope you enjoy my work, all comments are welcome.Ciao Mark CooperP.S To see more of my work you can visit my web site www.markcooper.it
