As a photographer, Craig Tooley has experienced both studio and freelance photography, running a commercial black and white darkroom for several years.

His good fortune extends to the honor of having had photographs published over the A.P. as well as the Sacramento Bee and Sacramento Union Newspapers, Sunset Magazine and numerous private publications. He also has received awards from Taylor Publication and the Epsilon Pi Tau Award for Graphic Art.

In 1999, Craig made the leap from Film to Digital Photography never to look back.

At this time, Craig is the Co-founder of the Gualala Arts Nature Photography Group and one of the staff of the Sea Ranch School of Photography. He enjoys helping  people by instructing them in the use of both photography and digital darkroom work flows, and in the use of the computer to share their images.
