He also teaches a worldwide clientele with online photography classes, private lessons, Lightroom editing courses, and photo business mentoring. With a mix of in-person workshops and online photography classes, Chris has successfully trained thousands of artists in most commercial and creative photography genres.[1]
The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park employed Corradino as a Staff Photographer in the spring and summer of 2019. He led weekly photo walks and photography classes to photographers of all levels in the heart of Yosemite Valley. Chris was also a contributing artist for the gallery’s social media and marketing campaigns, providing high quality photos of the park’s many natural features.
Corradino's assignment work with the Associated Press has been internationally published with credits including USA Today,[2] The New Yorker,[3] CBS News,[4] and most recently the prestigious Mint Images catalog. His outdoor photography has been featured online several times with National Geographic,[5] including a downloadable screensaver of a rare prandtl-glauert singularity vapor cloud.[6]
Corradino worked as a licensed photo teacher with the New York Institute of Photography. From 2008, he had an active role in curriculum development, multimedia production, and social media content. He was currently the Faculty Director, and head of the school's mentoring program.[7]
International Study Leader: Chris was given the special honor of "Extraordinary Speaker" by Smithsonian Journeys.[8] He was also contracted as Travel Dynamics International's first official photography instructor, leading high-caliber educational programs aboard small cruise ships around the world. This included photo workshops throughout the Mediterranean Sea, including an archeological dig with Dr. David Hernandez of Notre Dame in Butrint, Albania. Subsequent journeys traversed the hidden islands of the British and U.S. Virgin Islands.[9][10]
Corradino developed and led several travel photography workshops in Tuscany, Italy at Villa Dievole as part of IL Chiostro's "Autumn Arts Festival". After successful programs with locations including Florence, Siena, Cortona, and Vagliagli, Chris was asked to coach and lecture in Venice, Italy.[11] In 2019, he led a travel photography course in the Hawkes Bay region on the north island of New Zealand.
Television Appearances: Corradino appeared on Inside Edition, showing correspondent Megan Alexander how a super telephoto lens could be used for extremely long distance photography. As Alexander stood on one side of the Hudson River in New York, Corradino positioned himself clear across the river in New Jersey and started taking photos. Even from such a distance, the photos were very sharp.[12] He also appeared on Al Jazeera America to discuss the world's largest photo, a 365 GB panorama of Mont Blanc.[13]
Author: Corradino has authored three eBooks, "The Photography Rule Book", "Mind Over Megapixels: The 14 Secrets of Great Photography" and "Finding Your Vision: A Roadmap to Creative Composition".[14][15][16] In 2008, he self published From Manhattan to Montauk: A Photographic Journey.[17] He donated all earnings from the book to Kiva, an organization that lends money to entrepreneurs in developing countries.[18]
