Kevin Cooley is a photographer and video artist whose work examines primal forces and how humanity interacts with them. His work can be raw, often volatile, but it maintains an air of mystery and romance. I first became acquainted with his work in 2018 when I began my current project Hostile Valley. I became fascinated by the curiosity, the power of nature and the simultaneous tenderness of the images. I chose to interview him for this feature as a way of gaining insights into his thought process through direct connection.
