Ron Cooper
Ron is a travel, documentary and portrait photographer based in Denver, Colorado. He began exploring photography ten years ago after retiring early from a corporate career.
Cooper travels extensively in pursuit of images that reflect local cultures and people. His emphasis in recent years has been on portraiture with the objective of introducing viewers to the people he meets and photographs at home and around the world. His work has been exhibited in numerous group and solo exhibitions.
Photiq has published a book of Ron’s travel portraiture – get the details here.
About the collection
“Over the last several years, I’ve had the good fortune to meet and photograph members of many of the tribes and pueblos in New México, Colorado and Arizona. These portraits are meant to document, honour and celebrate Native American culture through the people I’ve photographed. I hope the images in this collection communicate the pride that each subject carries for their heritage and their community and honours their commitment to keep traditions from vanishing.”
