Some of us dream of traveling the world with our camera in hand. Professional stills and motion storyteller Corey Rich gets to do it for a living. Corey is one of the worlds’ most recognized names in adventure sports. He’s had the opportunity to document some of the world’s greatest athletes in extreme locations spanning the globe, from alpine climbing in Pakistan’s Karakoram Mountains to kayaking the Colorado river, to underwater cave exploration in Yucatan. Lucky for us, Corey took a moment before his creativeLIVE course to give a detailed explanation of his essential gear bag. Check out the video below:
For nearly twenty years Corey Rich has been capturing the world of extreme sports on film and pixels. Having been regularly commissioned by National Geographic Adventure, The New York Times and Sports Illustrated, it’s safe to say that his reputation precedes him. A big thanks to Corey for taking some time out to talk shop with us, and to CreativeLIVE for putting the video together.
