| Joe Cornish |
| Joe Cornish was born in Exeter in 1958. He studied art at Reading University, where he first came under the spell of photography. After
graduating in 1980, two years assisting in Washington DC and two years assisting studio and car photographers in London prepared him for a
career in mainstream commercial photography. |
| His passion for the outdoors encouraged him first to pursue travel work. A meeting with Charlie
Waite provided an important and ongoing source of inspiration, friendship and mutual cooperation. From 1986 to
1995 Joe was responsible for either all or the majority of the photography in more than thirty travel books. An assignment with Raleigh
International in 1991 was to inspire an abiding love of wild places and wilderness, and ultimately to alter the direction of his work. Around
the same time he began a working relationship with the National Trust photo library that continues to this day, and this experience has
convinced him of the vital role photography plays in inspiring environmental conservation. |
