Don Q Fan Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 A friend has asked if I can find contact details for Bill Cooper as there's a particular BRB ballet photo she would like to source. Would anyone know how one can contact Bill Cooper please? Or should we just try BRB direct? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balletbloke Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I actually went to school with Bill, though he wouldn't know me, and I haven't seen him since about 1966. When I realised he had been resident photographer at the RB, I tried to find his contact details, but came up with nothing! Apparently he has since retired and donated all his work to the ROH, but if anyone can get in touch with him please let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balletbloke Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 LBC understandibly won't give out personal details, and no-one I've spoken to at the RB has any info either. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Bill Cooper used to have a personal website to which his email was linked but there is no sign of that online now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judy Posted Tuesday at 19:46 Share Posted Tuesday at 19:46 Hi, I might be able to help - if you would like to send me your friends contact details I can then pass them on to Bill. Let me know if that is ok and I can send my email address for you to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diandri Posted Wednesday at 14:41 Share Posted Wednesday at 14:41 Not sure if this is any help; try the website Arenapal.com as it has some of his pictures to buy in a variety of sizes (it's not cheap, but there are some lovely images). You can also search by dancer if you know who you're looking for, I searched Bussell & it brought up all images by all photographers etc. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted yesterday at 15:14 Share Posted yesterday at 15:14 Thank you Diandri for sending through this link. What a wealth of brilliant photos . I’m sure anyone who hasn’t looked at this site, will be surprised how many pics of a favourite dancer, across their repertory, which can be found here.
