Tori Duhaime (she/they)
Richmond, VA (Powhatan land)
Movement is my first language. Raised in Southwest Colorado on Ute and Pueblo land, I was brought up on the extracurricular opportunities of the outdoors while pursuing the early stages of a professional dance career.
As a professional photographer based in Richmond, VA, I blend my background in dance with a passion for the outdoors to capture dynamic imagery. With a BFA in Modern Dance from the University of Utah, I seamlessly transitioned from a career in dance to photography, drawing inspiration from my experiences in both worlds.
Specializing in outdoor photography, I've collaborated with renowned brands such as Osprey Packs, King Cage, Subaru, Danner Boots, and Atomic Skis, crafting compelling visuals that showcase the thrill of movement against breathtaking landscapes. My portfolio includes captivating shots from bike races like the Iron Horse Bicycle Classic, Gravista, the Shenandoah 100 as well as events in Richmond, VA, and beyond.
As a seasoned marketing professional, I've lent my expertise to brands like Osprey Packs and consulted on ethical social media management for various clients under JAM Collective. I am the Marketing Director for Trails Magazine where I am fostering new readers for the print renaissance in outdoor media. Additionally, I've spearheaded initiatives like the Thru Hike Syndicate program, amplifying the stories of thru-hikers and expanding representation in outdoor storytelling.
With over five years as the Marketing Director for Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company, I've honed my skills in creative development and marketing, fostering partnerships and driving impactful campaigns to highlight choreographic artists including Artistic Director Daniel Charon, Yin Yue, Keerati Jinakunwiphat, Raja Feather Kelly, Stafanie Batten Bland, Joanna Kotze, Ann Carlson, and more.
Now based in Richmond, VA, I'm dedicated to contributing valuable imagery to the local dance and outdoor communities, enriching storytelling in the Mid-Atlantic and Appalachian regions.

artistic, social, and environmental values
Everything is a motion, a movement, an action. I admire the nuances of each transition and glance that signifies an honest experience in the body and in the land alike. With a lifelong education in dance, a stumble into photography, and a love for the land and its people, I seek movement in physical, ideological, spatial, and experiential design.
I am a lifelong, in-process advocate for justice, diversity, equity, access, and inclusion in all my occupied spaces in the outdoors and dance. My care for these efforts is expected to be shared by all brands, partners, and employers from the executive to staff level. I will not claim expertise in regard to equity but I will not take up space that should be given to others. I aim to offer any form of support in expanding the conversations and resources to improve these efforts within my appropriate role and utilize my privileges to amplify the voices of others and their experiences. If you are seeking photographers to carry those conversations from first-hand experience, I will gladly recommend and connect you to Black, Indigenous, people of color, LGBTQIA+, and disabled photographers to hire with the expectation that they are paid effectively and equally to any other hire and are respected fully.
Sustainability and protection of Indigenous and public land in the context of environmental justice is a critical point of value in my work and life. I seek full transparency in those I work with to expose the work being done internally to combat climate change, racial and social injustices, and reduction of waste.
