Tommy Corey, a professional photographer, has unveiled a new project about hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail. The project called “Hiker Trash Vogue” features real hikers on the famous Pacific Northwest trail. Corey spent months hiking the trail and taking photographs of these hikers. Corey found the project as a way of bringing out the beauty in ordinary people doing a normally glamorous activity. Corey used minimal equipment including a Canon 7D with back up batteries. He used an iPhone to make edits, and had to rely on lay overs in towns off the trail to recharge equipment.
Key Takeaways:
- Tommy Corey’s latest project made him feel close and connected to his hiker subjects.
- He carried three batteries with him and edited by connecting his DSLR to his iPhone.
- Corey’s book ‘Hiker Trash Vogue’ is available for $115 at his website.
“What started out as fair attempt at sarcasm and humor, however, soon turned into a beautiful record of human triumph that also documents the connection between hikers and the environment they inhabit.”
