On Monday, October 28th, Alpenglow Sports hosts South Lake climber and professional adventure photographer, Corey Rich! Join us in the shop at 7PM to hear Rich talk about his newest book, ‘Stories Behind the Images: Lessons from a Life in Adventure Photography’.

From his early days working out of his dorm room and shooting on film to becoming a Nikon ambassador and official photographer of the historic Dawn Wall ascent, Rich has been capturing iconic shots of adventure superstars for more than two decades. Now Corey tells how he got some of his favorite images of climbers, adventurers, skiers, performance artists, and more. He shares insights into the business of photography, photography tips, outdoor lessons, and what he has learned about human nature along the way. Featured outdoor athletes include: Tommy Caldwell, Alex Honnold, Beth Rodden, Kelly Slater, Bear Grylls, Lynn Hill, Ashima Shiraishi, Fred Beckey, and many more.

Rich’s career began in the ’90s when, as a college kid, he traveled the country in a beat-up Honda Civic, photographing rock climbers. As his skills and reputation grew
along with the popularity of climbing and other action sports, Corey was there to tell the stories of some of the world’s best athletes. Corey’s work has appeared on nearly 100 magazine covers and in the pages of the New York Times Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and National Geographic. He lives in South Lake Tahoe with his family.

Doors for the event will open at 6:30 and the show will begin at 7PM. The event is FREE, but beverages will be available for purchase with all proceeds going to the non-profit beneficiary of the 2019 Tailgate Talk Series, Gateway Mountain Center. See you there!
