About Don Cooper - Mission Statement
I began my career as a photographer in 1990 and my very first professional job, consisting of interiors for the (former) Toronto Historical Board, was published as a brochure and several postcards. The satisfaction of delivering high-end, high quality photography to my clients has never worn off. This is the mission of Overbrook Studio.
What I term high-end photography takes time to produce, both during the shooting stage and the later post-production in a controlled environment. But what takes time, money and knowledge to produce is recognized in the final layout in a split second by today's visually sophisticated consumers. They may not know the details of what went into the photography, but they know quality when they see it - impact which communicates "a thousand words."
I shoot with a Canon 5D MK ll with a 5D back-up (full-frame cameras). Image quality is superb.
Hobbies: Photography and golf...
