Tillman Crane is a photographer and writer with a singular style.
His penchant for structure in his images captures both a sense of spirit and scale. His eye sees teh civility and the grandeur of bygone times.
Known for his engaging architectural photographs printed in silver and platinum/palladium and for his portfolios, Echoes of History, Spirit of Structure and Cathedrals of the Industrial Revolution, Crane has exhibited his images in galleries across the United States from San Francisco to New York, from Maine to Texas, Alabama, Utah and Arizona.
A southerner by birth and a philosopher by training, he credits friend and mentor Paul Caponigro for helping focus his life behind the lens. Crane began his career as a photojournalist with The Daily Times in Maryville, Tennessee. He later worked for the State of Tennessee as a photographer before joining the faculty of the Maine Photographic Workshops in 1987 and the University of Maine at Augusta. He taught various courses: View Cameras, Printing, Photographic Themes, Vision, and Alternative Processes. He earned a Master of fine Arts from the University of Delaware and has served as Director of Photography for the Waterford Fine Arts Academy in Utah and its summer Mammoth Camera Workshop. He was a Contributing Editor for View Camera magazine, and writes extensively on the craft of black and white printing.
Crane lives in Camden, ME with his wife, Donna, and their two sons, Andrew ans Jacob.
