Kyle Pope, Photographer.
—
Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, and have moved up and down the West Coast. 2023 will be year 14 with a camera in hand. What started as just an organic extension of my interest in art has transitioned into a full-time life consuming passion.
Outside of photography my interests include hockey, cars, food, video games, traveling, and good music. Given the nature of this profession, you’ll find a lot of cross over between interests listed, and what I like to point my camera at.
Now that the dating profile style “about me” is out of the way, if you’ve made it to this point I’m going to assume you’re actually interested in what type of person I am- so here it is:
I considered writing this portion in the third person.. “Kyle enjoys this, Kyle has accomplished that,” and as awe-inspiring as this may have looked, it felt a bit pretentious. The reality is I’m just a bit of a nerd in a lot of different ways. I really like deep dives into how and why things work, or why history shaped the way it did- and all of the deep conversations that go along with that. I will drink coffee at any time of day, and I’m a sucker for 24h breakfast places. It’s rare I’ll ever turn down dessert. My friends refer to my car as my “phone booth,” because I’m incapable of sitting in traffic without calling someone. I’m a fan of the St. Louis Blues, and hockey was the only sport I’ve played.
My favorite types of people are those who also have a niche level passion, and my favorite conversations are hearing about those interests. Funny enough, those are also my favorite things to photograph.
