Corbin Kimrey


Freelance Photographer

Hi, my name is Corbin! I grew up in Evanston, Illinois, but I've lived in Minnesota for the past 4 years. I recently graduated from UMN with a BA in Sociology and an additional focus in Integrative Neuroscience. In addition to photography, I work as a Case Manager in social services.


I have 9 years of experience as a photographer. My interest in photography was piqued by an intro to photo course my freshman year of high school, followed by a photography program at the School of the New York Times, which I was competitively selected for. Inspired by my photography teacher, Amy Moore, and Vivian Maier, I began as a street photographer. My work is heavily rooted in documentary, which has given me extensive experience in authentic storytelling.


Since I began photography, my work has received national and regional recognition, awards, and gallery features. This includes a Scholastic National Gold Medal honored at Carnegie Hall, during a ceremony featuring celebrity guest speakers and a recorded message from former First Lady Michelle Obama.



My work has been competitively selected for gallery display at the Pratt Institute Manhattan Gallery, Parsons School of Design Sheila C. Johnson Design Center, Scholastic Art.Write.Now Traveling Exhibition, the Arnot Art Museum, Perspectives Fine Art Photography, and other venues.

I value deepening the ways in which we understand one another, and focus on telling each client's story in your own voice. I'm especially passionate about uplifting voices which lack representation, and photography is an amazing way to help people tell their stories.



My experiences with addiction recovery, mental health, and being a trans man often inform my work, allowing me to connect with people I photograph so I can better reflect clients' authentic selves and ensure clients feel seen, respected, and heard during their shoots.


In my free time, I enjoy hiking in the Canadian wilderness, eating ice cream, making mixed-media 3D collages, and taking my cat, Jack, for adventures.
