Hi, and welcome to imagerybykeith.com. Imagerybykeith.com is primarily a venue to present to you the photographic services that I have to offer. These include all types of photography services including portraiture and advertising photos as well as sales of images already present in my stock collection and high quality prints for framing. Other services include restoration and digital touch ups of your own photographs and optimization of your images. Also, if you are looking to improve your own photography or you want to expand your knowledge of the new medium of digital photography I am pleased to offer my services as an instructor and a tutor. Now that you know a bit about the services available to you through imagerybykeith.com let's take a step back and review the facts. Imagery By Keith is based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan but I refuse to be limited by geographical constraints as 21st century technologies make many of my services available to people everywhere. (Watch for upcoming online photo workshops). I was born, raised and lived the first 29 years of my life in and around Saskatoon and after spending about 13 years in the mountain town of Canmore, Alberta I have returned to Saskatchewan in 2005. I look forward to reestablishing old relationships and forming new ones in this beautiful city.
I learned a great deal during the 1980's by working part time as a documentary photographer and shooting the occasional portrait and all the while doing nature photography and shooting whitewater kayakers. It was during the 80's that I produced my first exhibition, had my first photos published and established myself as an instructor of 35mm photography including black and white and color darkroom. During this time I was fortunate enough to curate two exhibitions of selections from the Photographers Gallery permanent collection as well as be selected as a judge for the Prairieland Exhibition Photography Contest. I feel that the combination of judging other people's work and teaching was greatly beneficial to my own knowledge of photography. My love for the outdoors took over in the 1990's and I moved to Canmore, Alberta where I worked for Mirage Adventure Tours (now the Canmore Rafting Center) as a river guide/manager/photographer. The Canmore area is truly a photographer's paradise. It is this inspirational setting combined with the great technological advances in digital photography that have fueled my love of photography to new heights. I taught both 35mm and digital photography for the Town of Canmore until February 2005 and established special bonds with my many students there. I send a special "thank you!" to all of you. Keep shooting and I hope to see you soon. That brings us up to present day and back to Saskatoon. I'm happy to announce that Don's Photo Ltd. of Saskatoon is sponsoring a series of digital photography workshops covering a broad range of topics. |

Photography
caught my attention at an early age. I remember ordering a Diana camera from
the back of a comic book and how excited I was when it arrived in the mail.
It was my second camera, an AGFA 126 instamatic that I used at the age of 12
to make the photograph of Waskesiu Lake at sunset shown on the left . When I
borrowed my brother's 35mm
SLR
I was hooked. During my first job after high school I could afford my own
SLR, a Yashica FX3. While studying photography at the University of
Saskatchewan I became involved with the Photographers Gallery in Saskatoon
and by 1983 I was teaching basic 35mm SLR courses for them.
