MY NAME IS JOHN COCOZZA. I HAVE LIVED IN SAN DIEGO SINCE OCTOBER 1999 PHOTOGRAPHING SURFING, EXTREME SPORTS, MODELS, FASHION, POLITICS AND SWIMWEAR. I MOVED TO SAN DIEGO FROM NEW JERSEY AT THE AGE OF 21 LOOKING TO BECOME A LEGENDARY SURF PHOTOGRAPHER. WHILE INTERNING AND PHOTO ASSISTING FOR AARON CHANG FOR 14 MONTHS, I WAS EXPOSED TO AND STUDIED FASHION/MODELING PHOTOGRAPHY. SINCE THEN I HAVE CONTINUOUSLY PHOTOGRAPHED, BEEN PUBLISHED, AND BUILD UP MY PORTFOLIO.
I AM AN ACCOUNT EXECUTIVE,STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER, AND DIRECTOR OF SWIMWEAR CONTENT FOR SURFSHOT MEDIA. I FORMED MY CORPORATION IN 2005, JOHN COCOZZA PHOTOGRAPHY INC.

I currently work with and have worked for companies and models representing:
Who I'd like to meet: A super cool, easy going girl, that loves nature/the ocean/ and life. She is not afraid to get her hands dirty or do some hard work every once in awhile. She loves her family, friends, and can always find a shining light in a bad situation. a positive ambitious outlook on life.
Gold Diggers, Princesses, Plastic, Lazy Bitches, VIP Whores, Bottle Servie Whores, and Spoiled Brats need not apply. Go find a Guido, Sarducci, Meat-Head, Metro that will cater to your every need.
In a perfect world she would look like Jessica Alba, Jolene Blalock, Eva Mendes, Eva Longoria, or Jessica Simpson. A guy can always dream.
