Corey George grew up on his grandparents' farm in upstate South Carolina, surrounded by old pine forests, farmland, wildlife, and the particular rhythms of rural Southern life. That landscape, and the forces quietly reshaping it, became the foundation of his artistic practice.

His work is a sustained documentary of the rural American South: how man and society have altered the land over the past several decades, and how the relentless pursuit of progress continues to transform it. Working primarily in photography and video, Corey moves between the lyrical and the analytical, finding images that hold complexity without resolving it too neatly.

Since 2004, Corey has served as Multimedia Technology Manager at the University of Tampa's College of Arts and Letters, where he also teaches across a wide range of digital and studio media courses. His teaching spans more than two decades and three institutions, including Long Island University Southampton and the University of Georgia.

His photographs and videos have been exhibited at the Tampa Museum of Art, the Houston Center for Photography, and in juried and invitational exhibitions across the United States and internationally. His photographic work has appeared in Oxford American, Lenscratch, and International Street Photography, and his writing was included in the anthology Ruin Porn (Palgrave, 2018).
