Craig Scoffone is a fine art photographer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has been shooting for 40 years, and has had his works published and exhibited both domestically and internationally. In addition to his artistic pursuits of both the local and regional landscape, Craig has also amassed an extensive collection of compelling works of the figure.
For the duration of Craig's career as a photographer, he has also been an accomplished portrait and commercial photographer, having provided his skills to many ' Silicon Valley ' clients. But Craig's true and longest lasting interest in photography, has most certainly been his pursuit of fine art compositions. There is a wide ranging approach, in both technique and style, of the various themes, Craig chooses to photograph. This has resulted in a body of work, that has profound diversity, not normally associated to the works of a single artist.
' It keeps me interested in creating new works ', Craig says, in referring to the variety of techniques, and the resulting diversity in styles that result, in reviewing various samples of his work. Craig is not interested in being considered, ' a one trick pony ', in terms of being associated with just one, single, identifiable ' style '. Just appreciating not just the variety of styles, but the compelling quality of individual compensations - from soft and painterly, to bold, vivid abstractions, is a valid strategy when taking in the contemporary works of this artist.
