Casey Cooper is a wildlife and adventure photographer, boat captain, pilot, and expedition guide whose camera has taken him from the bear coasts of Alaska to Antarctica, Borneo, Africa, and the Amazon. His specialty is predator animals, an obsession rooted in hands-on time working with them in wildlife rehabilitation facilities, where he learned to read animal behavior the way few photographers do. That foundation shapes his signature style: close-proximity encounters with bears, wolves, polar bears, and sharks, built on patience and respect rather than pursuit. He owns a shark diving company in Florida, and conservation is always the main focus of his work.
