Kevin Cooley lives and works in Brooklyn, New York with his wife and is primarily a photo and video artist who does freelance assignment work as well. He is well known for his night photography. His extended use of ambient light combines with the magic hour is unbelievable.

He surprised me with creative ways of using/exploiting light in the video below. To great end, too.
