ABOUT

LC20121216 1058 Edit ABOUT

My name is Luke Copping and I am a commercial and editorial portrait photographer – It’s your timeless boy meets camera, boy falls in love, boy loses camera, boy wins camera back and together they ride off into the sunset kinda tale.

I love making cool stuff, and being a photographer gives me a lot of opportunities to make really cool stuff for really cool people.

I grew up around Toronto, Ontario and now live in Buffalo, New York.

Even though I went to a really great photo school I like to tell people I got good at photography through a series of synth-rock laden 80′s style training montages.

I make images for advertising and editorial clients across the US and Canada – Taking quirky portraits of subjects that range from corporate innovators to counterculture rebels.

I have won some cool awards, but the one I am most proud of is when the American Society of Media Photographer Named me one of their best photographers of 2011.

I am a bonafide 10th level super nerd – I get really excited about comic books, cult films, sci-fi novels, and weird music.

If you are lucky enough to be at the wrong intersection at the wrong time you might catch me singing hair metal in the car next to you…badly.

I have the same birthday as Louis Daguerre

Hi Luke,
I stumbled across your site (and work) whilst trawling the internet researching retail graphics (I’m a graphic designer for a mobile phone retailer in the UK). I always try to pass on my regard when i find something cool! I like your new site, especially when the format shifts for your portfolio – nice work and great shots too…

My regards
Rich.
