NANA N MELISSA UNNO STAPIT

IN DI NAME OF FRIENDSHIP UNNO STAP! PLEASE IT DOW LOOK GOOD YOW

NOT JUST A ”PICTURE MAN” -JMG INTERVIEWS

With all the pictures that are posted here on a daily basis, Robert Cooper’s pictures appear more than just pictures, perople here actually like his work. An unno know that is an unsual thing here on JMG. His pictures are always clear, always focussed and do actually make the person appear beautiful..at least to me. Well here is a little something about Robert Cooper. Endorse and Enjoy:-

When someone looks at your pictures the first thing they ask is ”Who took these pictures” and with that I ask , who is Robert Cooper?

Who is Robert Cooper? I’m a variety of things, I’m conscious, I’m a Pan-Africanist, I’m a photographer, a journalist, a nerd, and a movie and music buff

 

 Looking at your photographs it is clear that they are more than just photos , the art and clarity that goes into them states more than the obvious, when did your love for photography begin?

 I’ve always loved photography, starting when I was younger I would look at books and magazines for the photos, as well as album covers. It wasn’t until about 5 years ago that I learned I had the talent for photography.

 

Who is the man behind the photographs, the man behind the lens, opposed to Robert Cooper the person?

 The man behind the camera is someone who is trying to make a party look as live as possible, even if there are two people there.
 
 
 

 

 How long have you been taking professional pictures?

I have been a photographer for about 5 yeas, but I wouldn’t call the first two years professional, then it was just something I was learning.

Is photography a natural talent for you or were you trained in the art of photography?

 It is definitely a natural talent. No disrespect for those who go to school, but I feel that you can’t teach art, and if I went to school, I doubt my photos would be as good, because I would be a text book photographer instead of someone looking to take risks and change it up.
 
 
 

 

My site is contraversial , most people think its negative but I must say when your pictures are put up pthe reaction from people are less about the person in the photographs and more about the quality of your work. How does that make you feel?

 Anytime someone likes my photos, it makes me feel good. I want people to enjoy, and talk about the people in the photos whether it’s good or bad. I’ve been told several times that I make ugly people look good. I don’t know about that, but I hope to make everyone look good. p.s. I like your site, and for those who worry about being on it, if no one is talking about you, then you are doing something wrong.

Are you where you want to be in your career as a Photographer, what is your dream?

 I am not where I want to be in my career as a photographer right now. What I want is to do high end fashion magazines, music artist promotional pix and album covers, take pix for music magazines, and books.

 What is the most challenging part of your work?

The most challenging part of my work is being patient with people. Women are very critical of themselves and will have you taking 5 or more photos of themselves before they are satisfied, and when they are satisfied, the pix looks just like the first one you took…
What do you see behind your lens?
 
 

 

 Behind my lens I see people who want to be seen, people who are ignored by mainstream society, and wish to be validated in the surroundings that they know.

 

 Who influenced your love for the art of photography and who encouraged its persuit?

 I am influenced by Gordon Parks a great Black photographer, and Francis Wolff who took photos for the jazz label Blue Note. But my mother is the one who bought me my first camera, changing my life forever.
 
 
 

 

 What kind of camera do you use for your photoshoots?

 I have a Nikon D300.

 I am impressed by your humilty behind your talent, who is your favorite person and why?

 

Well thank you, I am a very low key person and I stay humble. I have a lot of favorite people, Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, Fela Kuti, and Barry Sanders (whom I get my humbleness from) among others.

 

 

Last but not least, my site is mostly about dancehall, what do you think about dancehall’s past, present and future?

As I said, I am a music buff, and I started listening to dancehall in the late 80’s, and in that time the music has definitely changed tremendously. I think today the music is definitely more slack, and is influenced way too much by Hip-Hop. Now I love Hip-Hop, but I want Hip-Hop to be Hip-Hop, and Dancehall to be Dancehall. But I am happy to see the popularity of Dancehall increasing, and how it is influencing other genre’s of music. I think the future we’ll see the music getting even more creative and experimental.

Psalm 25

 1I offer you my heart, LORD God,

    2and I trust you.

   Don’t make me ashamed

   or let enemies defeat me.

    3Don’t disappoint any

   of your worshipers,

   but disappoint all

   deceitful liars.

    4Show me your paths

   and teach me to follow;

    5guide me by your truth

   and instruct me.

   You keep me safe,

   and I always trust you.

    6Please, LORD, remember,

   you have always

   been patient and kind.

    7Forget each wrong I did

   when I was young.

   Show how truly kind you are

   and remember me.

    8You are honest and merciful,

   and you teach sinners

   how to follow your path.

    9You lead humble people

   to do what is right

   and to stay on your path.

    10In everything you do,

   you are kind and faithful

   to everyone who keeps

   our agreement with you.

    11Be true to your name, LORD,

   by forgiving each one

   of my terrible sins.

    12You will show the right path

   to all who worship you.

    13They will have plenty,

   and then their children

   will receive the land.

    14Our LORD, you are the friend

   of your worshipers,

   and you make an agreement

   with all of us.

    15I always look to you,

   because you rescue me

   from every trap.

    16I am lonely and troubled.

   Show that you care

   and have pity on me.

    17My awful worries keep growing.

   Rescue me from sadness.

    18See my troubles and misery

   and forgive my sins.

    19Look at all my enemies!

   See how much they hate me.

    20I come to you for shelter.

   Protect me, keep me safe,

   and don’t disappoint me.

    21I obey you with all my heart,

   and I trust you, knowing

   that you will save me.

    22Our God, please save Israel

   from all of its troubles.
