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 The New York Times, Sunset Magazine, Vogue, Travel + Leisure, Financial Times, Eater, Imbibe, Seattle Times, Seattle Met, Edible Seattle, Seattle Refined, Fine Dining Lovers, The Infatuation, and Bellingham Alive, among others.
