Kevin Cooper                                        Belfast 20.9.2009 @HF

To enter the world of Belfast, it might be worthwhile to be shown around by photographer Kevin Cooper. During the long period of conflicts he has attempted as journalist and member of the union to protect other journalists against all kinds of methods of intimidation and threats. Consequently he is most knowledgable when it comes to judge political reality. It entails differentiating true from fake lines of conflicts which run through both communities not only prior to the Friday agreement, when violence begot violence, but equally nowadays when one false word can evoke complex reactions not at all easy to be self-controlled.

Aside from images having to do directly with conflict and violence, Kevin has done photography for a number of years for WAVE, an organization which deals with people who suffered trauma, loss or injury as a result of the Northern Ireland conflict.

He is a Freelance Photographer and does photos for Press, PR and Conference Photography.

Kevin Cooper is associated with the NGO Interaction Belfast.
