Victoria Cooke Photography

I had the pleasure of working in front of the camera for 20 years, and I always knew it was only a matter of time before I would find myself behind the lens. For many years I was a model represented by the prestigious Wilhelmina Agency in New York and Los Angeles for high fashion ads, sports commercials and magazine covers such as Runner’s World and Fit Magazine. In 1980, Playboy Magazine featured me on their pages as Centerfold of the month Miss August 1980.

To satisfy my passion for sports while modeling, I worked as a fitness trainer at the studios of Richard Simmons and Jane Fonda where I had the opportunity to personally train many actors and actresses in Los Angeles, including Jack Nicholson, Bruce Springsteen, Linda Evans to name a few. From athlete to cover girl, centerfold, celebrity fitness instructor to photographer, and now artist. My life experiences are very adventurous and empowering and eye opening.

I have trained with Sarah Coghill at the White Light Gallery in Copenhagen, Denmark, studied Boudoir Education with Critsey Rowe, author of Boudoir”. I am constantly improving my craft with training around the world studying with other world class photographer’s and workshops. I shot in various locations in Europe and the U.S., from the forests of Copenhagen, to the Villa Gardens in Bellagio, Italy, to the white sand beaches of Florida's Gulf Coast to the Land of Enhantment in Santa Fe New Mexico.

A pleasure, Victoria
