About
Born and raised beside a pasture of corn and cows in Visalia, California, Corey Nickols grew up playing in rivers and running through fields. He filled his days building rockets, discovering music and increasing his boy like wonder for life and people. At the age of 8 he created his first photo album made up of his loving family with adventures involving a station wagon, campsites and a trailer with beer cans for hubcaps. As Corey continued to grow, so did his curiosity for creating. He attended an art school where he spent a few years in darkrooms, studios and on location exploring and entertaining his craft. Currently he resides in Los Angeles. When not working, Corey enjoys punk music, studying philosophy and theology, making kombucha, learning Japanese, playing the piano, quantum mechanics, making soap and getting tan.
