Kody Kohlman

Kody Kohlman is a director and photographer based in Boulder, Colorado. He found photography through skateboarding as a teen growing up in the arid deserts and hot streets of Arizona. He spent a decade enraptured by skateboarding’s subcultural subtleties and cut his teeth as a photographer shooting film. Through skateboarding, he learned how to chase the charged energy of motion behind the camera, while also focusing on the individual in the still moments. Today, his work is still influenced by those roots: capturing the immediacy of movement while creating a larger portrait of the humans at its center. He is most drawn to projects that tell stories at the intersection of craft and culture and has worked for brands across industries including: The North Face, American Airlines, Columbia, Fujifilm, Rapha, Shopify and Yeti.
