When not at either her South Beach studio apartment or her ‘indoor-outdoor’ beachfront cottage in Jamaica, Cookie Kinkead resides “on the road”.

Born in Kingston Jamaica, Cookie’s first official assignment was in the early 70’s with Bob Marley and the Wailers for their  album “Catch a Fire”.  She spent three memorable days roaming the capital in a little jeep trying to round up the members of the group in an era when Bob sported an afro.

She has been working and traveling the world ever since and her work can be seen in a host of top flight magazines including Elle Décor, Vogue, Travel & Leisure, National Geographic, Conde Nast Traveler and The World of Interiors.

Some of her regular clients include Chris Blackwell, Coral Sands, The Landing and Tiamo resorts in the Bahamas.

Cookie uses very little equipment and prefers to make use of the best natural light.  Inspired and innovative, her low-key approach and infectious vitality bring out the best in her subjects whether she is photographing people, travel or interiors/style.

She has also photographed many celebrities including Ralph Lauren, Naomi Campbell, Bono, Quincy Jones, and Bob Marley, and her work has been featured most recently in “Eat Caribbean” as well as in Diane Von Furstenburg’s “Bathrooms” and Terence Conrans’ “Essential House Book”.
