Hello, there.
My name is Nathaniel Crawford; photographer, creative soul, chai tea lover and person who stutters. I was born and raised in Central Illinois, but now call Chicago, IL home.
I have two philosophies in life; food is best when enjoyed in the company of others and that cake and pie make everything butter.
By day, I work as a Marketing Manager for an award-winning hotel management company. By night, I own and run Captures By TK Photo & Film (originally known as TermiNatetor Kitchen in a previous life). I launched the business in my sophomore year of college and I have been on this wild journey ever since, having the opportunity to work with a variety of clients and brands along the way.
Through photography, I want to create, connect and cultivate wonderful, lasting relationships that linger long after the shoot is over, and the photos are delivered. I want to capture authentic moments, from a chef preparing a plate of food to a group of friends enjoying a drink on a warm summer night. I believe the most powerful images come from the small, nearly-missed moments.
My goal with photography is simple; is to capture moments beautifully that leave a lasting (and hunger-filled) impact on the viewer.
