Jerry Cooke's photostream

SetsGalleriesTagsPeopleMapArchivesFavoritesProfile

Well hello there!

My name is Jerry and I live in Cornwall, the wild and wonderful south-westerly peninsula of the UK. I've been seeing the world through a viewfinder most of my life, from 35mm to digital and beyond. I've recently spent a couple of years studying Photography and Digital Imaging at university, though at the moment I'm taking time off paying bills back and refocusing on my photographic passion before going back to university in the autumn (or so I hope).

I love using cameras to capture things that the human eye can't and to catch moments that others may miss. I love reportage style portraiture and sunny landscapes.

Pop facts: I'm a formerly internationally ranked freestyle inline skater. I'm semi-big on youtube .

I shoot with a Canon EOS 50D or 350D, with 18-55mm, 50mm f1.8 and 75-300mm lenses and a Speelite 550EX flash unit.

mercybell says:

"Has the eyes of the consummate photographer (and is a nice guy!). You never know what you'll get next: random objects made fanciful, shots both creative and difficult, or his photographically astute yet wonderfully candid chronicling of daily life. What a lucky world we will have when he's unleashed as a professional photographer!"

"Jerry's living evidence of Getafix' magic potion existing! Only in contrary to Asterix he must have taken such a big dose that its effect is permanent. This hyper-active boy maintains he wants to be a photographer when he grows up... Well, i think he won't grow up soon (and thanks God!!!). But i'm sure we can expect the metamorphose in a real photographer much sooner."

"Jerry's crispy clean visions of a sometimes too soggy world are refreshing, fun, honest and silly. In short, Jerry just plain rules."
