Welcome.

My work at Jim Craven Photography is shaped by my more than two decades as an award-winning newspaper photographer at the Mail Tribune in Medford, Oregon. I captured life from just about every angle for the newspaper and learned to develop ideas quickly, shoot in virtually any situation and relate to all sorts of people.

I decided to leave the newspaper in 2010 and start a business devoted to a new goal: serving people and organizations by providing exceptional images that capture beauty and emotion while also telling clients’ stories. Clients will find that I’m easy to work with and experienced enough to succeed with any assignment.

Thank you for visiting Jim Craven Photography. Please take a look around my site and connect with me on Facebook as well.

What Jim's clients say

“Jim is a pro. Technically, his photos have strong focal points, good lighting, deep color and all those sound fundamentals. More importantly, for me as a communicator, Jim understands the essence of his subject and conveys that essence emotionally, and with impact.”

Jim Beaver
Director of Interactive Marketing and Media Relations, Southern Oregon University

“Jim has always provided us some of my favorite lifestyle photos. He knows how to capture details in the subject many photographers do not pay attention to. Whether it’s photographing medical professionals, events, children or new architectural building and equipment, Jim always knows how to capture his subject in the perfect light. Nothing is hard about working with Jim, expect choosing which great photograph we are going to use.”

Ann-Marie Riggs
Marketing Consultant, Asante Health System

“Jim knows how to work with all subjects, and he has an uncanny sense for what we need in a photograph. He is particularly skilled at capturing event and lifestyle photos, and he does a beautiful job working with light and lines. Everytime I ask him to do some photography, I am pleased and surprised with what he produces. His photos not only complement our articles, they often define and focus them."
