Georgina Ellen Cooper is a British model born in 1976 in Wellington, England. Georgina Cooper has been used by Corinne Day in a number of photographs between the years of 1994 and 1995.

‘I submitted three photographs of Georgina. In one she wore a black, bat-winged dress and in another an eighties ‘slaggy’ sort of dress. There was also a portrait in a Judas Priest t-shirt. When these photographs came out in Ray Gun, Georgina called me and said thanks because people were noticing her now. I was pleased for her because Georgina is a genuine kind of person.’ Corinne Day – Diary

Georgina was not a perfect specimen in the sense of no imperfections which some fashion photographers demand. She had a big gap in her teeth which Corinne warmed to as again it was more natural and distinguished her from other images. Georgina has subsequently achieved success as a model including the face of Spanish vogue.
