Craig Kienast
M.Photog., Cr.

Craig Kienast has been involved in photography in one form or another since 1985, but had been frustrated with his art and craft UNTIL the advent of the digital medium! Now he has grown wings...or more aptly a rocket pack!

Craig has been a featured speaker at many national and regional conventions including SPI,and WPPI. Craig has also been published several times including articles in Rangefinder and Professional Photographer magazines. He has also been recognized through print competition, earning PPA's Diamond Photographer of the Year award in both 2005 and 2006. His other print awards include Best Out Of State Print (2005) in Montana; High Scoring Print Case (2002) in Iowa; Medlar Trophy for Best of Show (2001) in Iowa and Best of Show in ACI Print Competition (2000). Craig's style can be described as Edgy, Ethereal and sometimes, Dark. His goal is to capture the beauty in the human form and the beauty in nature.
