about Kent Corey
I'm Kent Corey, founder of Corey Ground & Air Ops, The Waking Hour Gallery, and the Ground & Air Ops Apparel brand. After a lifetime of capturing the world through both lens and motion, I’ve built a business rooted in the raw, real moments that happen between the noise — moments of light, stillness, and motion. Whether I’m documenting sunrise over the Atlantic, off-roading deep into Florida’s wild terrain, or helping a client elevate their brand through drone and photography work — I bring creative vision, technical skill, and real-world grit to every project. Every image, every shoot, every design — it’s all personal. This isn’t just work. It’s my life. And I invite you to be part of the journey.
Our Mission
To capture, create, and deliver authentic visual stories rooted in moments of light, stillness, and motion — blending photography, drone technology, and off-road capability to inspire, document, and connect people to their world in a real and powerful way.
Our Values
Authenticity – We don’t fake the moment. We live it, we capture it, we share it.
Grit – From backroads to sunrise shoots, we show up early, stay late, and do what others won’t.
Creative Precision – Every shot, every design, every project is executed with intention and care.
Freedom – Built to move. We take the road less traveled — literally and creatively.
Connection – We value the people behind the projects. We build trust and deliver work that matters.
Resilience – When conditions change, we adapt, regroup, and keep going.
Impact – Our work isn’t just for show — it’s meant to move people, inspire action, and create meaning.
Founder's Notes
My name is Kent Corey, and I believe the best work happens when it’s rooted in creativity, connection, and courage. I’ve spent the last 35+ years in sales and marketing—and the past 15+ years in real estate—helping people move forward through bold ideas and visual strategy.
I combine the power of marketing, photography, and real estate into one mobile experience—showing up on location, ready to work, create, and make things happen. Whether I’m behind the lens, behind the wheel, or above it all with a drone, I bring a unique energy to every project I take on.
With a fully branded, off-road photography and drone rig, I built Corey Ground & Air Ops to deliver media, strategy, and storytelling wherever it’s needed—from the ground, air, or sand.
