Our story starts with a vision

Steve Craig was ready to chart his own course. After ten years of shaping his sales, marketing and management skills in the hospitality business, he founded Photogenic in 2001 with a single venue at Chicago’s Navy Pier Ferris Wheel. His vision was simple: to add value to each guest’s experience as they stand in line. The profits, growth and big-picture business results would follow, but the guest came first.

As we enter our tenth year, much has changed. The Ferris Wheel remains our flagship location, but what began as one idea and one person has transformed into an industry-leading national network.The same vision continues to guide our mission and our growth.
