Kevin Cooley

Kevin Cooley is a commercial photographer who has done a lot of night photography in his personal work. His Iceland project looks at the quality of light at night during the shortest days of the year. His Lights Edge project is a study of flares shot into the sky at night, and his Nacthflug project is a study of urban scenes that include a myriad of trails of airplanes in the night sky. On the surface, these may not sound very interesting, but if you take a look at his website I think you'll be surprised.

I learned about Kevin through the Strobist website, which features Kevin's promotional video. The author poses an interesting question, "Why doesn't every photographer have a promo video like that?"
