Cory Richards – Adventure Storytelling

ROAM Founding Member and world-renowned storyteller Cory Richards boils down his lifetime of experience as an alpinist and photographer to give you insight on how to plan, capture, and share your stories from the field – from your backyard to the top of Everest.

Cory goes step-by-step through his process, using real examples of his stunning work in potent case studies. Learn how he positions himself in unfamiliar or uncomfortable places, how he connects with people, his experience documenting raw conflict and action, and how he weaves together plot, resolution, and emotion into a larger narrative.

Who is this course for? Anyone who wants to learn the secrets of how a working photographer prepares to go on expeditions and photo assignments. If you’ve ever wondered how to shoot a collection of images for any kind of publication, or simply want to deepen your personal work, this course will teach you both concept and theory, as well as technical tools, while emphasizing that the whole should be greater than the sum of its parts. Cory also offers insights into specific successes and failures throughout his career, including expeditions to Indonesia, Pakistan, and Antarctica. This is a world class tutorial in crafting image arcs that leave deep and lasting impressions.
