Biography

Over twenty years ago Keith began photographing birds and landscapes using a 4x5 inch view camera. From the beginning, he has been using colour reversal film and making Ilfochrome (formerly known as Cibachrome) prints from his colour transparencies.

For almost twenty years Keith and his wife, Sandy, have lived on 35 acres of land beside Dogpound Creek in Alberta. There, the mood and face of the land vary daily and an appreciation of these often subtle, and sometimes dramatic changes are an aid when photographing other places. When making photographs, his aim is invariably to capture the spirit of the land.

 Keith’s photographs have been exhibited and published widely. National Geographic, Sierra Club, Nature Canada, Birder’s World and others have used his photographs. His Ilfochrome prints are in many public, private and corporate collections, including the Edmonton Art Gallery, Telus Corporation, Texas Instruments, 3M Corporation, Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, Royal Ontario Museum, Alberta Foundation for the Arts, AMOCO and others.

 Forty of Keith’s bird photographs were on display in a solo exhibition titled “A Place Called Home” at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., from November 2001 until October 2002.

"One of the magical things about nature photographs is that they are not contrived nor are they the product of the artist's imagination. The subject matter of a nature photograph is indeed part of the public domain. And yet the nature photographer who wishes to reveal something of this vast public domain finds it more often than not very elusive. The land does not seem willing to yield its secrets as readily as one might suppose. All of us have marveled, at one time or another, at the scene of a striking sunset or a magnificent mountain landscape. Often, photographs of these produce disappointing results.

The demand for nature photography is to somehow translate the feeling that one receives from such special moments onto film. The scene that is photographed must contain special light, pattern, color or texture and then in turn be carefully edited if it is to produce an impact on the viewer. When I am able to do this I see my photographs as symbols of a larger whole. The subject is metaphysically given a life of its own long after the flowers have faded and the snow has melted. These photographs are benchmarks for the seasons that were and reminders of what is yet to come."
