Meet our Photographers!

Working directly with the thru-hiking, bikepacking, and paddling communities is central to our work. We love connecting with creatives that photograph real people doing real activities, and we want you to meet them, too!

Tommy Corey, otherwise known as “Twerk”, is a full-time photographer and filmmaker living in Denver, CO. Originally from Northern California, Tommy spent a lot of his childhood camping, fishing and hiking with his Dad and two brothers in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. Being immersed in nature at an early age, he found himself thru-hiking the Pacific Crest Trail in 2018, thus creating an editorial photo project called ‘Hiker Trash Vogue’. This project launched his career in outdoor photography. This year, Tommy created a video series that explores the very poignant and unique stories that exist within the outdoor community. Through this, he strives to bring equity and inclusivity to humans of all walks of life who just want to be in and belong in nature.
