Based in Santa Monica, California and Atlanta, Georgia, Rick Cooper travels the world photographing the people, children, places, and events that profoundly shape the vision of our world. It is with a strong desire that Rick hopes his photographs will help breakdown the stereotypes, preconceptions, and prejudices that are so widely held. Only by experiencing as much of the world as possible, meeting people of all religious and ethnic backgrounds, can we begin to understand that people everywhere have common desires, goals, hopes and aspirations for world peace. Rick regularly adds to his portfolio of captivating images at www.rickcooperphoto.com.
