Listen "Lee Cohen: The Cosmic Release"
Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the Next Level Skiing podcast, brought to you by Wagner Skis. On today's episode, I have the pleasure of talking with powder photographer extraordinaire, Lee Cohen. Lee came to Utah in the 1980s as a ski bum and found his calling. He and his friends traveled from Utah down to California and beyond, chasing the snow and powder and photographing the experience. Today we're talking about how Lee got his start in skiing and photography as well as his journey to being one of the most well-known foremost photographers the snow has ever seen. He also talks about how he first pushed back on the transition to digital photography and his thoughts on it now. Lee shares some tips on how to get the best pictures when you're out on the slopes and tips on skiing which he'd gleaned from the pros.
