Specialising mainly in Black and White, his interest in the world of photography began in 1979 whilst serving in Hong Kong with 42 Commando, Royal Marines when he purchased his first SLR camera. His world as we see it through the lens, captures life in a contemporary form; exposing the sensitivity and beauty nature possesses. With the intention of fabricating both stillness and movement within his
shots, Hooper over the years has built a diverse body of work where his creative flare and eye for the bewildering shines through. Combining his passion for art, he also develops a variety of his photo’s into Fine Art Giclee Prints; mimicking the look of silhouettes in a highly contrasted and atmospheric fashion. Fulfilled with just his camera, an open landscape and the possibility of capturing just one great shot, Hooper thrives on the chance of seizing a single moment in time where no photo can ever be the same. Encapsulating an overall sense of calm just like Don Hooper himself! With a variety of publications and Marketing campaigns with brands such as Marks and Spencer’s, Woodmansterne Publications and Carousel Calendars, Hooper has gained an expanse list of highly regarded awards built throughout his esteemed career.
