Hello.

Corey Perrine (b. 1979) was raised by an American father and Korean mother in Springfield, Va.

He is a driven and passionate staff photographer for the Florida Times-Union / Jacksonville.com, focused on sports, news and portraits. His full-time career in newspapers, since 1999, has helped craft his visual voice covering daily stories in Provo, Utah, Kansas City, Mo., Nashua N.H., Augusta, Ga., Omaha, Neb., Naples, Fla., Philadelphia and Jacksonville, Fla.

He understands the need for photos on deadline, the importance of arriving early and staying late.

He is always striving to tell a complete visual report – journalism part included – ask questions, get names.

Each assignment or project, he always attempts to reach beyond the obvious. Peak moments are a given, but also tell the story on the periphery. He always strives to include overlooked elements, stop for things that tug, take visual risks, and hopefully, surprise the audience.

The themes of his bodies of work revolve around obstacles and triumph. He represents people with empathy while letting life unfold naturally. He believes in images because it gives viewers the liberty of how long to look and how much to reflect.

"Photojournalism is the delicate balance between art and storytelling, creativity and communication."

Honors include being recognized by Pictures of the Year International, the National Press Photographers Association, The Atlanta Photojournalism Seminar, Northern Short Course, Southern Short Course and numerous state and regional competitions. He is a six-time NPPA Regional Photographer of the Year and two-time NPPA National Clip Contest Photographer of the Year. In 2014 he was runner-up Photographer of the Year (small markets) in the Best of Photojournalism competition, second runner-up in 2012. In 2010 he was Sportsshooter.com Photographer of the Year, runner-up in 2013. Sportsshooter.com also named him the lone 2010 annual pro portfolio winner. He is an Eddie Adams XX (brown team) alumnus and has coached at The Mountain Workshops.

When not behind a camera, he presses and cleans comics to be graded and sold through his eBay store Comic Pursuit, attempts and fails at staying in shape, hikes with his husky and cattle dog, enjoys cooking, watches movies, and explores restaurants, all with his lovely wife, Sarah.
