About Cody
- Cody teaches a variety of Photography Workshops, Classes, and leads Photo Tours in Jackson Hole, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, Arches, and Canyonlands National Parks. Cody was a Park Ranger in Yellowstone and has guided in the Rocky Mountains from many years, so in addition to your photography instruction you will learn about the natural world of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem during your time with him. There is a very good chance you will encounter wildlife during your day with him, but unfortunately it is not guaranteed(but more than likely you will!!)
- Cody grew up outside the small town of Eureka, Kansas. He received a Bachelor of Science in Park and Natural Resource Management from Kansas State University, then moved to the Rocky Mountains where he has lived since 1996. After college, while working as a National Park Service Ranger in Yellowstone, Cody’s love for nature inspired his photography. His hobby became his career when he moved to Vail, Colorado in 1999.
- Cody’s career has allowed him to photograph a wide variety of subjects ranging from ski resort marketing to fine art. Cody is primarily a commercial photographer that works with companies in the ski and outdoor industry--and has the ability to photograph all their marketing needs--everything from backcountry skiing to hotel interiors.
- He owned a gallery in Eagle, Colorado, where his Western Fine Art was displayed and now shows his work at Art Shows around the Rocky Mountain region. He also hangs his work in shops and galleries in Jackson Hole and the Yellowstone area. In addition to the commercial photography side of things, he is the Photo Editor for Cross Country Skier Magazine and has served as the photo editor for four other major outdoor magazines: Backcountry, Alpinist, Ski and Skiing Magazines.
- Cody lives in Jackson Hole and continues to photograph nature, outdoor sports, weddings, and lifestyle photography. He teaches photography workshops and leads photography tours in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. When not out shooting he can be found mountain biking, nordic skiing, fly fishing, climbing or drinking coffee with his wife Colleen.
