Cory started The Home Aesthetic in 2014 after being frustrated with his own home buying process. He would search for hours on Real Estate sites like Zillow, Trulia, and MIBOR, but the photo quality was terrible and rarely gave an adequate representation of the home. Being part photographer and part entrepreneur, he had to do something to help agents and home owners solve the problem. Most of Cory's personal photoshoots are now on the commercial side working with interior designers and hotels.

When he's not photographing, he and his wife spend most of their time traveling. They love exploring new countries and cultures.
