About Ken Cravillion

   

Photographing at Potato River Falls in northern Wisconsin (taken by Jeff Hapeman)

My name is Ken Cravillion.  I am a 27 year old professional photographer and live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.  I have many interests including nature, photography, travel, hiking, camping, snowboarding,  NASCAR as well as various other things.  I also paddle a sea kayak to take me to many places inaccessible by foot.

I have been in photography for almost 10 years and more seriously in the last 7-8 years.  For the most part I am self taught in photography but in high school and at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh I took photography classes.  During my first photography course I shot with 6x6cm medium format and 4x5 inch large format cameras.

Things that I like photographing are landscapes, waterfalls, birds (when I can get close enough) and people.  Most of all I enjoy being outdoors experiencing nature.  Please visit my image galleries to see my nature photography work.  If you see something you like please let me know.  If you want to buy something look here.

I enjoy photographing weddings and am available in the Wisconsin area.  It is just as exciting for me to shoot a grand landscape as it is to photograph a wedding.  Each often reveals great surprises and wonderful unique moments.   For wedding example images please see my wedding portfolio.
