This week as promised I have decided to write about Cory Richards. Last Tuesday, Cory Richards a Rocky Alum came to Mark's photography class to tell us about what he does.
It was quite an exciting presentation to hear. I have always wondered what I really wanted to do with photography. I have been asked many times what area I would like to go into. What do I want to focus on.
Cory came and told his story, he started out shooting fashion and then worked his way into being a paid climber as well as a photographer. He explained how his job as a climber sometimes turns into a photo job and vise versa.
Personally I love the outdoors and if people are willing to pay me for my photos if I go and hike mountains or climb rock faces I am all for it.
Cory is a very versatile photographer. Not only does he shoot sports but he is working on other pieces that include portraits and landscapes. It was great to hear that you don't necessarily have to pick one form of photography and stick to it. If I like taking pictures in general then I can go and take pictures in general. There should be nothing holding me back from doing it all.
It was great to hear Cory's story and get some tips from him. The link is below if you would like to check out his work.
