Roger Craton is a fine art photographer who travels widely looking for unique images. He has photographed on all seven continents and in over 40 countries. After retiring from his business career in 1993, he began pursuing photography seriously and has studied with a number of well-known photographers. His work has been exhibited at the National Museum of Wildlife Art (Jackson Hole, Wyoming), The Wildling Museum (Los Olivos, California), The Crooked Tree Arts Center (Petoskey, Michigan), The Dennos Museum (Traverse City, Michigan) and in other venues and galleries around the country.

Roger’s artist’s statement says, in part: A successful photographer’s vision defines their work. My vision is particularly attracted to images that contain strong graphic design elements. When combined with light, color, texture, and an overlay of emotion, they show the world “as I see it”.
