Corey is a photographer and a director from South Lake Tahoe who has been documenting adventure sports for over three decades. He’s been taking climbing pictures since he was 13 years old, and over the years his work has helped define the genre of adventure photography in both the editorial and commercial spaces.
His images have appeared in magazines, catalogs, and online, and in the past decade he’s worked as a director shooting commercials for some of the world’s biggest companies. In his new book, Stories Behind the Images, he gives insight into what it means to create a career doing something you love, and how success is all about building great, lasting relationships in business and in life.
