Teo Crider is a portrait and product photographer with a passion for food, beverage and hospitality.

Born in Tokyo and raised in Skagit Valley, he spent his formative years oscillating between a preschool art teacher by day, a fine dining bar manager by night, and playing in noisy touring rock bands, before returning to school to pursue a lifelong love of photography. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Western Washington University in Bellingham, where he is currently based.

His work has been featured in both national and local publications, including Sunset Magazine, Travel + Leisure, Financial Times, Eater, Imbibe, Seattle Times, Seattle Met, Edible Seattle, Seattle Refined, Fine Dining Lovers, The Infatuation, and Bellingham Alive, among others.
