David Corry is fortunate in that he retains his childlike awe of the world around him. As he moves through the world, images are “snapped” into his mind’s eye as if a camera lived behind the lenses of his eyes. He says that the images are sometimes given to him by an unseen force and that his “eye” is a gift.

Corry’s interest in photography began at an early age, having watched his father capture images with an Argus C3 35mm camera, using a hand-held light meter to calculate exposure settings. As a child, his first photographs were recorded with a Kodak Hawkeye camera, capturing images from his experiences in Cub Scouting. In high school, art classes were an avenue to learn darkroom techniques and the nuances of fine art. During those years, Corry had images selected for numerous juried exhibitions which included four pieces being selected in the catalogue of the top 50 pieces of art in the Ohio region of the Scholastic Art Awards and being awarded a Governor’s medal in his senior year of high school.

After high school, Corry enlisted in the U.S. Army as a photographer, eventually working in the Public Affairs office at the John F Kennedy Center for Military Assistance (JFKCMA) at Fort Bragg, NC.

After his three years in the Army, Corry attended the Ohio Visual Art Institute in Cincinnati, OH which led to a job at a leading commercial photography studio in that city. The next move would be to a creative studio in Southern California where he managed the production of multi media projects for clients such as Mobil Oil, Yamaha, and Disney. Corry loves not being confined to a single genre, but enjoys creating fine art, documenting our societal world through street photography, capturing the beauty of the world through landscapes en plein air, but is especially at home in his studio, currently in Friday Harbor, WA, where he produces portraits & headshots and manages his lifestyle/event/commercial photography business.

You can see a sampling of his work and may contact him at www.corryography.com. If you find yourself on the beautiful San Juan Island, he would love for you to stop by the studio to see some of his printed work.
