Craig Hadorn, Photographer

Craig Hadorn is a professional commercial photographer located in Salt Lake City, Utah. A Portrait and Food photographer, he creates images to grow your brand or tell your story.

Hello there! And welcome to my website. My homepage features an overview of my commercial and editorial photography portfolio. The images shown here help to comprise the five complete galleries listed above, and include environmental portraits, food photography, professional headshots, moments of life, and commerce, the latter of which includes industrial, healthcare, corporate, and manufacturing photography. These are the genres of commercial and editorial photography that float my boat as a working professional photographer.

That being said, like most commercial photographers out there, I do sometimes shoot other subject matter. So if telling the story of your brand or life also requires a product shot or landscape or business event or architectural image, I am only too happy to accommodate your needs.

Usually I end up shooting real people on assignments, as opposed to models. I'm not opposed to shooting the latter, but I really do enjoy making nonprofessional talent look their best. And as an avid cook, I have no interest in shooting artificial or fake food that cannot really be eaten.

One thing's for sure though. I do not, have not, and never want to shoot a wedding. I'm way too much of a control freak for that, but my hat's off to those who do it well. Likewise with engagements, newborns, senior portraits, and family portraits. Again, I admire all the photographers out there who are good at these things, but the honest truth of the matter is: I'm not.

And while we're on a slightly-negative note, I also do not shoot video. My apologies. Yes, I know it limits me, but I still prefer the challenge of telling a story with a single, dramatic and compelling image. And, to be  honest once again, I am still working on being the best still photographer I can be.

(And loving every minute of it!)
