Tommy Corey completed a photography project where he turned everyday hikers into models. Corey took the hikers and photographed them doing high-fashion inspired model poses. He called his project “Hiker Trash Vogue”. Corey took the photographs along the Pacific Crest Trail during a month-long hike. The trail is over 2600 miles long. Hiker Trash Vogue started as a sarcastic poke towards the fashion industry but evolved into a project that showed the beauty of the hikers and their relationship with each other and with their environment.
