Biography

Marine photographer Walter Cooper was born in Port Huron, Michigan

and grew up sailing and boating along Lake Huron. Inspired by his

surroundings and his pastimes, Walter's interest in photography began

in grade school. Throughout the years of his education, he continued to

spend time on the water, both boating and developing his skills and

devotion to photography. After receiving his Bachelor's degree from

the University of Michigan, Walter continued his education in Lansing,

Michigan where he was awarded a technical degree in photography.

Shortly after receiving this degree, Walter moved to Miami where he

concentrated on marine photography. After a year living and working in

Miami, Walter relocated to San Diego for the America's Cup. During the

1995 America's Cup Walter worked for America3, the Women's Team

as a staff photographer.

Following the Cup, Walter returned to South Florida and has since

moved to Colorado. He spends his time shooting major yachting

events around the country and running his business, Walter Cooper

Photography. He is a regular contributor to a number of sailing magazines,

web sites, and has worked for three America's Cup syndicates.
