Armed with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from The Chicago Academy of  Fine Arts, Corder opened Fosters Pet and Animal Photography studio, becoming the first African-American to do so. The business was an  instant success. His high profile clients included the Kal Kan companies and Carnation. The latter putting Corder on a nationwide tour to photograph racehorses and award-winning canines. Seeking new creative challenges, Corder dissolved his company and created Blackbird Films. He assembled a team of established and up and coming directors for such clients as Mc Donalds and the California Lottery. His staff included world-renowned director Gordon Parks as well as then newcomers, Kevin Hooks, Forrest Whitaker and Bill Duke and others. - See more at: http://www.productionhub.com/profile/foster-corder#sthash.3XFv9KqW.dpuf

Based on the success of Blackbird, Capitol Records made Corder a career offer he couldn't refuse when he was named Director of Video Production, becoming the first African-American hired as a film executive in the record industry. During his tenure at Capitol, Corder supervised a staff that would swell to hundreds of cast and crew members relevant to the production's completion. Corder produced music videos for Tina Turner, Paul McCartney, Bonnie Raitt and the highly successful, 'Too Legit to Quit' and 'Addams Groove' starring M.C. Hammer, as well as many others
