Greg Cooper Photography

"I had the pleasure of working with Gregory at NREL, where he handled my professional headshot as well as many of my colleagues’. From the moment we stepped into the session, he created a welcoming, comfortable environment—even for those of us who normally find having our photo taken stressful.

His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made the process seamless. He gave clear direction, helped us relax, and captured natural, authentic photos that we were proud to use in our professional profiles. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but what impressed me most was his ability to put people at ease and bring out their best.

I’d gladly recommend Gregory to anyone looking for not just exceptional photography, but a genuinely positive experience."

"I had the pleasure of being Greg's manager at NREL, and I could not have asked for a better photographer, team member, and employee. Greg brought a wealth of expertise and professionalism to our team, making us all better professionals.

Taking incredible photos comes naturally to Greg, but what mattered most was Greg's professionalism, organization, and care for those with whom he worked. Many people are uncomfortable in front of a camera, but Greg effortlessly puts his subjects at ease, allowing the most natural actions and smiles to shine through. When faced with high-priority requests, Greg puts in the extra time and effort to prepare before photo shoots, allowing him to execute and post-process flawlessly and in record time.

Not only is Greg a fantastic photographer, but he is also an excellent drone operator, videographer, and so much more. With Greg, you aren't just getting someone who can take beautiful photos. You're getting the entire package!"

"Greg is an incredibly talented photographer whose work brings science and people to life in a way that few others can. He captured stunning, vibrant photos of our hydrogen infrastructure testing and research facility—an area that’s notoriously difficult to photograph well due to its industrial nature. Yet Greg managed to make it look fresh, dynamic, and full of energy, highlighting not just the facility and the research, but the researchers themselves. His photography elevated the visibility of our work and made our team feel seen and proud.

He also took beautiful headshots for researchers who had never had professional photos taken before. They were thrilled with the results, and many shared how comfortable and confident they felt thanks to Greg’s professionalism and kind demeanor. Beyond his photography work, Greg has also participated in several employee resource group events I’ve hosted, where I’ve seen firsthand his ability to connect with people from all backgrounds. He is not only gifted behind the camera, but also brings a warm, thoughtful presence to every interaction. Any team would be lucky to have Greg on board."

"I had the great pleasure of working with Greg over one year on several photoshoots at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Greg was a talented member of our lab's multimedia team. I was the project manager, coordinating with Greg and the photo subjects. We have worked together to photograph events, individual researchers, research groups, and laboratory spaces.

Greg is punctual, detail-oriented, responsive, and an excellent photographer. He is creative and good at getting subjects comfortable—which is an impressive feat when the subjects were camera-shy researchers! He is also flexible and able to pivot when the situation calls for it. I also really appreciate his eye and his sense of composition. He balanced the photo subjects and their environments so that his images were engaging, meaningful, and fun.

I highly recommend Greg as a photographer for events, portraits, and marketing images. I would be so happy to get to collaborate with Greg again!"
