Photography and design are different disciplines.
The way I see them isn’t.

Portrait of Craig Gritzen, Los Angeles photographer and interior designer.
Biography

Craig Gritzen is a Los Angeles-based photographer and designer working across interiors, architecture, real estate, hospitality, and an ongoing observational practice.

His work is grounded in the way environments are seen, used, and experienced - proportion, material, light, spatial hierarchy, architectural detail, atmosphere, and the people who move through them.

Before pursuing creative work full time, Craig built a career in science and research and earned a Master of Science from the University of Utah. That background still informs the way he works: observe closely, understand the system, test an idea, and pay attention to what others might overlook.

After developing his creative practice in Salt Lake City, Craig relocated to Los Angeles and is now based in Silver Lake. His interior-design background shapes the way he photographs space, while photography has sharpened the way he sees design.

The two practices increasingly operate as one - a study of space, light, objects, people, and the atmosphere created between them.

Alongside his commissioned photography and personal work, Craig is Founder, Principal Designer, and Creative Director of Curated Style Collective, a Los Angeles interior design and lifestyle studio.
