The Photographer Behind the Images

Thomas Cooper

Every picture tells a story.

It all comes down to the image—and the creative vision that brings together subject, light, and composition—resulting in an effort so captivating, so inspiring that all who view it are filled with wonder and amazement. This is the essence and endless goal of professional photographer Thomas Cooper, owner of Roxborough, Colorado-based Lightbox Images, whose diverse portfolio spans four decades and several continents, gracing the pages and digital platforms of local, national and international publications including the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, National Geographic, Time magazine and his own local community publications. Clients from The Gap, Grand Marnie and NBC and Bravo.

Inspired by his father’s interest as an amateur photographer, Thomas prized the first SLR camera his dad gave him at age 10. In that moment, capturing the world around him on film became his passion and a camera became the tool that would frame his life. From his first published images in the Rocky Mountain News at age 16, the Fort Morgan, CO native has honed his instinctive photographic skill and meticulous editing techniques, drawing a wide clientele for professional portraiture, photojournalism, commercial, music and stock photography, as well as adventure shoots, nature and wildlife, festive weddings, galas, corporate events and hometown senior portraits. Each of Thomas’ thought-provoking photographic compositions tells a story, and he enjoys working with individuals, families and business and professional clients.
