Biography

Dennis Craft runs a successful portrait studio in the historic town of Marshall, Michigan. His work ranges from high school seniors to families, but he is best known for his imaginative children's photography.

Craft Photography opened in 1979 in a storefront in downtown Marshall and did a thriving senior business. In 1988 they renovated a historic home in Marshall as a studio. Then, in 1999 they purchased a Bed and Breakfast and moved their business and home to this location. The charming surroundings serve as a perfect backdrop for their focus on fanciful child portraiture.

A Michigan Top-Ten photographer eight times, and Michigan Photographer of the Year twice, Craft has won numerous awards. He holds the Master's degree and Photographic Craftsman degree from PPA as well as the coveted ASP Fellowship.

Students from all over the country have enjoyed Dennis' unique teaching style and have been able to apply practical solutions and ideas for developing and improving their own photographic style.

Most of his honored prints are of children.   Dennis enjoys working in a natural light situation.   Window light and environmental portraits are his specialty.
