The Powell Movement

TPM Episode 442: Lee Cohen, Legendary Photographer


Listen Later

Lee Cohen may be the most dirtbag ski bum I've had on the podcast, and that's an honor, but that was back in his early 20's. Eventually, Lee moved west from New York, picked up a camera and became the authority on what powder skiing photos should look like. Along the way, he followed the dead, had a pro skier kid, and shot some of the best photos that Utah skiing has to offer. It's a business episode with one of those early creatives, who maybe weren't all business, but still crushed it. Lee's kid, Sammo Cohen asks the Inappropriate Questions.
