“Knowing how to use a camera is one thing, but using it as a tool to deliver the deliciousness of food, the unique character of a person or the sense of place through an image is Craig’s gift and who now has generously offered to share his knowledge through an experience that will not only be practical but enormously fun.
Having worked with Craig on many field trips and in the studio I can only say don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of Australia’s best and most experienced photographers.”
Theo Kalogeracos – Little Caesars Pizzeria

Craig you Rock i will ONLY work with you.”

Craig Kinder is one of the most talented food photographers I have ever had the privilege of working with”
Rachel Hanson – Managing Editor, Thermomix in Australia and New Zealand
“Craig is an absolute joy to work with – I can’t say enough good things about him! His professionalism, keen artistic eye, collaborative nature, good humour, enthusiasm and patience have made our photo sessions so easy and enjoyable. As a custom publisher of print and digital cookbooks, we have exacting requirements for our food photography in regards to style, composition and resolution. Our photo shoots can last for several weeks, and are designed to a tight schedule. And no matter how many challenging scenarios and requests we throw his way, nothing ruffles his feathers.
I innately trust Craig’s opinion – his experience, knowledge and award-winning skills in food photography are incomparable – and he is brilliant at setting everyone around him at ease. We shoot all of our images in-house, and Craig is more than happy to come to our office. He employs the latest in photographic technology, ensuring we have the highest quality images, with an incredibly quick turnaround (we often receive finalised images at the end of each day, with all images from the photo shoot sent to us on discs within a week after the shoot).
Thermomix in Australia have used Craig exclusively for all of our food photography in the past year, and we couldn’t be happier with his work.”
Russell Blaikie – Chef Proprietor Must Winebar Perth and Muster Bar & Grill Margaret River
“Craig Kinder is THE triple threat when it comes to food photography.. so devoted to his craft, so in touch with the latest technical wizardry and… so likeable as a human being.
When negotiating the publishing deal for my cookbook; MUST EAT, my single request was Craig had to shoot the book.
Simply put, he makes my food look amazingly good!”
Anna Maley-Fadgyas – Designer at UWAP
“To see food through Craig Kinder’s lens is to behold seemingly effortless art. Behind the lens, however, there is a ceaseless ocean of knowledge.”
Alison Muir – Atco Gas Australia
“The logistical task of putting together our inaugural book was indeed a large one. Engaging a specialist cook book production team led by well-renowned photographer Craig Kinder, from f22 Photography, food stylist Ursula Nairn and art director Cally Browning, has resulted in a book that far exceeded our expectations.
A total of 60 recipes were prepared (using natural gas of course), meticulously styled by Ursula and then photographed in a ‘temporary studio’ Craig and his team set up within the Blue Flame Kitchen. All this took place over a jam packed three day period. ”
