Free Photos for Educators
Hey, my name is Corey Dembeck
I'm a photographer and artist. My wife, Children and I, spend a few weeks a year traveling around visiting various national and state parks, forests, and other beautiful, educational, historical sites around the western half of the US. We take a lot of photos during those trips!!!
Recently, I saw a teacher ask on a random TikTok video if a photographer would be willing to share his astro landscape photo with her for her classroom. Her comment was ignored, so I offered her access to my landscape library and made a video offering access to my landscape library to any teacher for free.
It took off and I've since provided my download code to thousands of educators across the country from Barrow, Alaska to Miami Florida and even a handful outside of the U.S.
Who is Eligible and What You Can Use Them For.
If you educate children in any capacity...
Teachers, Principals, School Nurses, School Psychologists, Librarians, Paraprofessionals, Social Workers and any I may have missed are eligible.
You can print them to be hung in classrooms. You can use them for writing or art prompts. You can make light covers from them. You can provide them as screen savers and make slideshows from them. You can hang them in your house. If you think that it would help raise money for your school, you can even sell them at fundraisers if you thought it would help.

My Future Plans.
This is a work in progress.
When I made the original TikTok video, I did not expect the response I received. I thought maybe a few educators would respond... I did not expect thousands. Because I didn't realize this was something that educators really needed.
I'm going to keep the artsy landscape download page with a pin. Just in case someone looking for artwork and isn't aware of this, decides to purchase some.
I'm going over hundreds of thousands of photos from around the western half of the United States and am going to add them to blog posts and provide less edited photos from those trips that you are free to sort through and download without the need for a pin.

My Blog Posts
Keep an eye on these. This is where I'll be sharing posts that are location or Genre Specific. Examples like Yellowstone National Park, Astrophotography, Geologic Features, Wild and Plant life.. Etc.
My Expectations.
Nothing... really.
If you'd like to email or message me your students work so I can share it with the world. I would love to see it and hope to respond via video to your classes with some sort of educational content either about photography as an art form or of some location along with information about that location!
I'm a working photographer. My income is dependent on family photoshoots, portrait sessions, events and things like that. I love landscape photography, but it's never been something I've been able to successfully sell.
A simple way you can help is if you download and use my work, simply leave a nice google review.
If you really want to donate or help out financially you can buy a print from my online store, or Venmo me just enough to buy a coffee at @Corey-Dembeck. That being said, I do not expect anything. You guys deal with a lot. I appreciate your hard work and do not mind showing my appreciation by sharing my photography.
Another Type of Art I'm Known For...
After some friends lost their child unexpectedly, I borrowed an idea from a Japanese Artist, Itaru Sasaki, it went viral and has spread across the country helping thousands of people grieve the loss of loved ones.
The download code is 8410
I wish I could respond to everyone individually... but I can't. So, this is for the observant folks who I fail to respond to because I'm only one person.
