Corey Hilz

Corey Hilz

Corey Hilz is a professional photographer specializing in nature and travel photography. He finds the diversity in nature and cultures around the world offer boundless opportunities for new images. Corey approaches his subjects with an artistic eye, looking for a fresh perspective. He goes beyond the documentary image to show a unique perspective using color, shape and line. He strives to share the beauty of a destination you’ve never seen and provide a new perspective on a familiar subject. While Corey has collected diverse images from extensive travel, he also finds some of the most interesting subjects close to home.

Corey is a published author and his work is seen in magazines, books, calendars and catalogs. His photographs are also seen in exhibits and his prints are found in private collections. Corey has written six books, including two books on digital workflow and the first book dedicated to Lensbaby.

* And Many Of The In-The-Field Shooting Classes

What People Are Saying About Corey

"Corey Hilz never disappoints! I have taken several classes and workshops with Corey and I always come away with more photographic knowledge and insight than before. Not only does he have great vision, he is also technically savvy, making him a guru in the field and in the classroom. Corey is patient with all of his students regardless of level, and he makes his explanations easily understandable. I can’t recommend Corey enough if you are contemplating a workshop or class with him."

"Corey makes one feel confident. Yes, Corey truly is a gifted teacher, and he is able to clearly explain complex concepts to a complete novice."

"I've done enough photo workshops to know that some instructors are good in the field while others are good in the classroom. Corey is outstanding in both! In the field he has an uncanny ability to show up just when you need his help. His comments are always constructive and nonjudgmental. He lends his equipment freely (he got me hooked on Lensbaby) and encourages you to try new techniques. In the classroom, his teaching is methodical and logical. He shows you how to make the most of the digital darkroom with the software that you have (and then he shows you again using the software you wish you had). Corey is a natural teacher."

"I completed the Lightroom in a Day class with Corey Hilz today.  This class far exceeded my expectations.  I was admittedly skeptical of the long list of topics to be covered in one day but Corey is a gifted instructor and he presented a large amount of technically complex materials in a very easy to understand clear, concise, and coherent in manner." 

"Corey Hilz did an excellent job of outlining the goals for the class, reinforcing some key concepts and adjustments relevant to the indoor environment, and providing guidance and feedback on composition. There was ample time to practice and Corey circulated among the group to review photos, provide helpful feedback, and answer questions. Extremely satisfied with the experience"

I can’t praise you folks at Capital Photography Center and Professional Photographer Jeff Snyder enough for providing such a thoroughly enjoyable workshop.  Jeff could not have been more organized as to when/where to take me at Laurel Park to get the best shots or just generally nicer throughout the day.  I so enjoyed myself and would recommend this workshop to anyone.  It’s worth every penny and then some! It was a truly unique opportunity to spend the day with Jeff. Through his press pass, he provided incredible access to every aspect of the horse races. And yes, the ground does shake as the horses go by! I haven't had so much fun in a long time.  Thank you, Jeff and Capital Photography, for a great day.  
Gary S.

Thank you so much for the time at the races! It was fun to see some of the behind the scenes of this world totally unknown to me before yesterday. I can’t wait to go back!
Ilenia A.

It was a delightful day at the races. Jeff began by showing me the room inside where the photographers work, and then outside where the photographers spend most of their time alongside the track. During the class we shot 9 races at either the race start, or the approaching turn, or the following turn, or head on, or the finish line, and the winners circle, and the Paddock. Jeff's face is so well known, that when he shouts a compliment to a still-mounted winner, he gets an interesting response to record. Since the track is not open to the public, without Jeff I would not have been allowed to cross the track for another perspective. Since the class is limited to just 2 students, it allowed me to keep a low profile within the intimate crowd of owners.

What People are Saying About The 2023 Year of CPC Photography Program

"I loved the CPC 2023 Year Program!  It's a unique format that combines group instruction with individual feedback.  It covered a wide range of topics presented by excellent instructors. In short, it's a fun course at a great price!" Mark M. 

"If you’d like to raise your game as a photographer a couple of notches, sign up for A Year in CPC Photography! The monthly online courses and critiques and quarterly photo shoots are a great way to expand your horizons. I’m primarily a  travel and wildlife photographer but I found it stimulating and skill-building to plunge into such other related genres as macro, portrait, black & white, street photography and so forth. I also greatly improved my post-processing skills. I can’t recommend A Year in Photography highly enough. You won’t be disappointed." Gene G.

"Love the year in Photography course!  It keeps me on my toes and gives me the push I need.  Very professional and always interesting."
Laurie H.

"What I like most about the Year program is that it keeps me using my camera every month. Plus I love the presentations by the different instructors!" 
Susan W. 

"... It motivates me to get out and see things I might not have thought of photographing."
Terry D.

"Each month I find a different topic to inspire me. Thanks for offering this!" 
Robert M.
