Beyond the Camera

Welcome! I’m excited you decided to stop in and read, Beyond the Camera, the first blog post and the beginning of a thrilling new journey. Let’s get acquainted! I’m Corinne Tousey, a fine-art professional photographer and an aspiring cinematographer. Since I’m Long Island based, I travel to the East End, (think all of the Hamptons- Southampton, East Hampton, and Sag Harbor), the peacefulness of Montauk and Greenport, to the hustle and bustle of New York City photographing the wonders of New York. My Instagram (@corinnetousey) is my digital portfolio I use to highlight scenic landscapes, all the sunset and sunrises I can can see, and tons of ocean videos.

I always had a camera in my hand even as a young kid. I loved walking around with my parent’s camcorder. It was one of those huge bulky cases that you hoist on your shoulder, and it recorded on video. It wasn’t until my parent’s gave me my first DSLR, a Canon Rebel XT in 2006 as a gift after I took a course in film photography that I thought about turning this into a career. My career path to photography however wasn’t linear (I was a preschool teacher, worked in digital marketing, and have a Master’s of Science in Publishing). I always knew I was meant to do something creative but I also held a strong urge to help people, I was just never able to figure out how to combine the two worlds until one day I was asked to photograph for an event for a local non-profit. It felt great to be able to provide a service that was also giving back to the community.

The thing about my photography is I love to create a feeling and sometimes all I love to take is a pretty picture. I could never pick one aspect of photography to focus on, and I believe that’s what makes my photography unique. I enjoy photographing landscapes, architecture, outdoor natural light branding and family portraits, and non-profit events.

Thanks for reading and I’ll keep sharing what goes beyond the camera for me as a photographer. It will become a place where I can share current projects and exciting news.
