Sebastian Copeland

Born lucky to a musical family and loving parents who taught me that love and respect for all living things
is the best revenge--growing up in France and Britain, you'd have to draw inspiration from dysfunction.

Graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA ('87) with a major
in film. Fine art photographer and director of multiple award-wining commercials and music videos through the 90's--with clients ranging from beauty to jeans, soft drinks and sportswear.

A passion for the medium brought professional emphasis to Celebrity portraiture: each face holds a million stories...

An adrenaline addiction to the extreme includes skiing windsurfing, rock climbing, and the usual suspects: parachuting, scuba diving, and thumb wrestling.

A personal commitment to fight for (1) the protection of the environment, (2) universal access to clean water as a basic human right, and (3) a world safe from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, has lead to a seat on the Board of Directors of President Gorbachev's Global Green USA--the US arm of Green Cross International (www.globalgreen.org)--and the relentless pursuit of a sustainable future.
