Adventure First Photography

Cody Shimizu

Adventure, outdoor sports focused photographer/videographer who is based out of Canmore, Alberta. The ultimate location for authentic, wild, and extraordinary adventures.

Cody is not only a visual creator but is also actually a participants in many if not all of the sports he captures. Which allows him to have genuine connection with the talent that he puts in front of his lens, and also is able to bring a keen eye and perspective of someone who is knowledgeable of the sport rather then a clueless outside who doesn't know what they are looking at.

Since 2021 Cody has been pursuing photography professionally, originally with only the intent of wanting to getting a few photos published in magazines, but has since expanded his photography and videography to include creative work with brands such as Arcteryx or MEC, covering national and international events for cycling and trail running, or working with local companies to create and fulfill their social media calendars.

He has also successfully been published in multiple magazines including Gripped Climbing Magazine, Canadian Running Magazine, Mountain Life Magazine, Explore Magazine, and even a cover photo of Backcountry Magazine.
