Jonnie Craig

Jonnie Craig (born 13 July 1988) is a British photographer who first emerged in the 2008 annual Vice Magazine photo issue, a publication he continues to contribute to regularly. In February 2009, Craig had his first homonymous book published with Mörel Books. Alongside this, he released Nothing In Particular, a zine given away with the first 50 copies of the Jonnie Craig book.

Craig spent two years as the picture editor of HUH.Magazine. among others.

April 2012 saw the release of Craig's first film work, entitled IKYITHWMEL, a short film about skateboarding which was first broadcast on UK terrestrial television station Channel 4. Shortly after the release of the film, Craig released his second book, I'll Kick You In The Head With My Energy Legs, through Dokument Press, a Swedish-based art book publisher. The book focusses on the lives of a group of skateboarders. It doesn't, however, cover the act of skateboarding itself. The series was first exhibited alongside fellow artists Ed Templeton, Jerry Hsu and Kevin Long at the Steinsland Berliner Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden in 2010.
