Philosophy
Exploring the familiar with new eyes to celebrate the mystery. Keith’s photography captures what he sees and feels in that unique moment when he releases the shutter and creates the image. The moment is shared with the viewer to evoke an aesthetic response in the ever-constant present. With gratitude to Alfred Stieglitz, Minor White, Ansel Adams, Courtney Milne and Freeman Patterson for their inspiring works and words.
Style
An on-going, playful exploration of the transformative nature of photography in serendipitous light using a combination of deep intuition and appreciative inquiry of the subject.
Technique
Digital, single lens reflex camera with prints made from high quality printers, inks and papers. Images are crafted to achieve a compelling statement and an engaging visual experience.
