Welcome to Cooper Madsen Photography.

Photography is more than cameras and settings, it's the stories, people, and moments that have shaped how we see the world.

On this channel, I explore the history of photography, uncover the stories behind iconic images and legendary photographers, and dive into the cameras and innovations that changed the industry forever. Alongside these stories, I share my own journey as a New Zealand landscape photographer, the art of fine art printing, and what it's like building a family photography business.

From the rise and fall of Kodak to the origins of Magnum Photos, this channel is for anyone who wants to understand photography beyond the surface.

Join me as I document New Zealand's landscapes, preserve the craft of printmaking, and explore the fascinating history behind the world's most influential photographs.
