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.
