James Patrick Cooper Photography

James Patrick Cooper Photography NY portrait, lifestyle, real estate photographer. Photography has always been in my life. Later, while at C.W. I then began shooting NFL games from the stands.

My real interest began when I was a high school student borrowing my father’s Nikon to take photographs of friends and family. Post University, I would go to my old high school football games and take photographs from the sidelines. I started selling them to a local newspaper, The Record, a chain of weeklies of which I later became the Director of Photography. I worked my way up as a sports photog

rapher, starting at a paper called Pro Football Weekly, then shooting for the NFL and Sports Illustrated. I was even the two-time recipient of the NFL Hall of Fame Photo Contest. I started moving away from sports and turning my lens towards portraits in 1996, first on location then in the studio. This was the time when I started to develop my own style of edgy portraits and a real feeling for fashion work. My hallmark was off-center subjects and fill my shoots with vivid colors and high-contrast black and whites. My photos caught the eye of an editor at Associated Press, who hired me to do a majority of the portraits for the wire. Others soon followed. I was involved in creating portraits and fashion for magazines like Vanity Fair, German Vogue, Shape Magazine, and shooting music portfolios for record companies like Atlantic and Sony Music. I even toured extensively with the rock band Shinedown and country singer Shooter Jennings as a music photographer. In 2009, after over 20 years as a photographer, I also started racing Ironman Triathlons and caught the bug. I decided to go back to school to get a degree in Exercise Science from Bryan University, and became a Cycling and Triathlon Coach as well as a Master Trainer, while continuing to take photos for old clients, friends and my own enjoyment I love working hands-on with my clients and creating training regimens based in their specific needs, but i have missed photography’s unique creative energy.

Now I'm back to what I love and what I was put here to do. My unquie eye and style will be benificial to you
