pictures created by craig cranko. he is one of Australia's leading food photographers. His professional skills add the sizzle to the steak, the heat to the curry and the sponginess to the Madeira. Craig fully understands that photographic images are as much about what is softened and blurred, as what is sharply rendered and described in detail. His heavenly images of food consistently whet the appetites of foodies browsing through cookbook shelves; they tempt consumers in supermarket aisles; and adorn sell-in sheets and catalogues for many major food companies.
