Corey discovered early in his career that passion alone isn’t enough—mastering the business of photography is what truly turns creativity into a lifelong profession. Under the guidance of a dedicated mentor, he spent years refining his craft through patience, practice, and traditional film, adopting the mantra: "Good photography doesn't sell itself!"

This business-minded approach, paired with his creative drive, led to a decade-long partnership with Steamboat Magazine, where Corey served as the Senior Staff Photographer. During his tenure, he enlarged his field from editorial assignments to include environmental portraiture, destination weddings, landscapes, architecture and travel.

An adaptable collaborator, Corey works closely with marketing agencies and a roster of commercial clients, including:

  • Outdoor & Editorial:  Freeskier Magazine, Smartwool, Big Agnes, and Skitown U.S.A.® Magazine.

  • Hospitality & Real Estate: Sotheby’s International Realty, Wyndham Resorts, Saddleback Ranch, Playa Escondida Nayarit Mexico, and Haramara Retreat Sayulita Mexico.

  • Tourism & Education: Deer Valley Resort, Solitude Mountain, Steamboat Ski Resort, Colorado Mountain College, Baja Life Magazine, Steamboat Springs Chamber and the Park City Chamber.

Grateful for a career that continuously expands his creative vision, Corey has recently relocated. He can now be found exploring the Wasatch Mountains of Utah alongside his wife, many gear bags, and a renewed drive to capture the action, lifestyles, and landscapes of his new territory.
