The Photographer

Craig Osterloh

"Photography is an addiction. And I got the addiction young."

Starting with a folding bellows camera at eleven, Craig set out to learn the art of photography. Not as a career, but as a calling — the pursuit of that split second when the light is just right and the view is just perfect.

Like a hunter in search of big game, he chases the compositions that don't wait. Today he shoots across the American West and beyond, from the canyon walls of Moab to the rice-paper skies of Kyoto.

Based in Sandy, Utah.

Philosophy

The Eye of a Photographer

All the technology in the world cannot see a good composition. That requires the eye of a photographer — and that, in the end, is the quest.

Digital has changed photography drastically. No more stinky chemicals, no more fumbling in the darkroom. The tools available today are simply amazing. But the tools only serve what the eye can see.

The perfect image — or two — is always out there. It just requires showing up when the light does.
