    Clifford Cooper

    Clifford Cooper is a photographer based out of Central New Jersey. These are photographs from a series he is currently working on during the quarantine. Cooper explains, “ Fences create a barrier of privacy. For me capturing these fences in suburbia is about my own curiosity in what is being allowed to be seen by the persons who construct these barriers. Do the aesthetics of these barriers have more to the story than they actually try to hide”

    Make sure to check out  Clifford Cooper’s website and Instagram.
