I was born and raised in Tofino, a small town on the West Coast of Canada where my dad worked as a fisherman and oyster farmer. It’s the place I still call home, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend my life here photographing one of the last unspoiled coasts in the world.
My photos have appeared in surf, nature, outdoor and travel magazines around the world, and I’ve had shows in Canada, the United States and Europe. But so far, I’ve never had an opportunity to present a full collection of what I consider my best work. That’s what I hope to do with This is Nowhere. By compiling my best photos from the British Columbia coast from the last 15 years, I want to showcase my home and demonstrate the importance of preserving it for the future.
The foreword will be written by Dr. Chris Darimont, Science Director of Raincoast Conservation Foundation and professor at the University of Victoria. The book is divided into five sections: Air, Water, Earth, Fire and The Unknown. The introductions to each section are being written by people I’ve learned from and worked with over the years: my dad, Patrick Koreski, along with Noah Cohen, Keith Malloy and Malcolm Johnson. The designer is Chris Allen.
The money I raise through the Kickstarter campaign will fund the final production and printing of This is Nowhere. Also, as a member of 1% for the Planet, I’ll be donating 1% of all sales to Raincoast Conservation Foundationand Central Westcoast Forest Society.
