So something about me

I'm Richard Cook...

I was born in the sixties in Camberwell, South East London and spent my formative years in East Dulwich before getting married and moving to Orpington, and then to Sittingbourne in Kent.

I was very much, into arts and physics at school, and this was probably why I became interested in optics and ultimately photography.

Having learned the basics of photography at evening classes, I became an in-house photographer for a government office, which, although sounding very mysterious, was mainly photographing old deeds, maps and dignitaries. 

It was whilst there that I Studied and achieved my HND in Professional Photography at City of Westminster College and also qualified with the BIPP, the British Institute of Professional Photography

From there, and after the premature closure of the Photography Department (!), I took the logical next step and set up my own business, Richard Cook Photography, in 2004 where I offer studio portraits, Commercial photography, and everything else that you see you see on these pages and more besides...
