Reviews
Epic stories from a man who has lived and worked on the edge.--Bear Grylls, survival specialist and television personality Corey Rich is one of those rare breeds that marries multiple skills and somehow makes 2 and 2 add up to 5. As a true artist, he is as fine a photographer as he is a climber, teacher, mentor, speaker, and storyteller.--Rich Clarkson, former director of photography at National Geographic Corey Rich is one of the best visual storytellers out there. Stories Behind the Images is a behind-the-scenes look that shows you that the person holding the camera is perhaps the biggest adventurer of them all. I absolutely love this book.--Tommy Caldwell, professional climber A life well lived is the reflection of a world-class person. That is Corey! His courage, creativity and photographic brilliance is inspirational. World class is the essence of story behind the image.--Tom Frost, Yosemite climbing and adventure photography pioneer
