We recently welcomed actor and writer Cooper Levy to the Downtown Los Angeles studio for a portrait session. Based in Toronto, Cooper is a multi-talented creative who merges a passion for performance with a strong academic foundation. A graduate of Queen’s University with a degree in Computer Science and the Creative Arts—specializing in music—Cooper brings depth, intellect, and artistry to every endeavor.

During the session, Cooper’s quiet intensity and thoughtful presence translated beautifully in front of the lens. With a look that balances classic strength and modern sensitivity, he gave a compelling performance in stillness—elevating each frame with subtle expression and natural poise.

Off-screen, Cooper’s interests are as dynamic as his craft. He spends his downtime making music, creating visual art, and surfing. His curiosity extends into travel, literature, and ongoing research into psychology and science—interests that enrich his approach to storytelling and character.

Photographed against clean, minimal backdrops, we focused on capturing a versatile series of headshots that reflect Cooper’s range—from leading man confidence to cerebral introspection. These portraits not only highlight his striking features but also his ability to communicate nuance with restraint—a quality casting directors value in today’s cinematic landscape.
