Seattle portrait, dance, and fashion photographer
Steve Keller
Photographer
I'm Steve Keller, a Seattle portrait photographer with over 30 years experience in the visual arts. I specialize in distinctive, fine art studio portraiture, dance and fitness photography, as well as fashion and model development.
I'm a skilled and experienced artist, I capture the essence, personality, and individuality of my subjects. With an eye for detail and a deep understanding of light and composition I create striking emotive images that tell a story. My experience and professionalism ensure a seamless, personalized experience for every client. I believe you will treasure our images forever, whether for family portraits, dance images, headshots, fashion and talent photographs, or fine art individual portraits.
It only takes a fraction of a second to capture an image. And yet, every time I shoot, 40 years of artistic experience go into creating the moment that image is captured.
Shoot with me and it's not just a photograph, it's a work of art.
My story
I am a Seattle based portrait, dance and fashion photographer with over 30 years of professional experience in the visual arts. My career in photography began with commercial work including regional and national advertising campaigns in Los Angeles in the mid-1980s. Owning a commercial photography studio in Los Angeles, my clients ranged from small businesses to international corporations, and my work has been featured in national publications and media. During this phase of my career I shot everything from professional audio equipment to bikes and motorcycles to jewelry to sportswear and swimwear to portraits and food.
As a portrait photographer today, I tap into decades of experience working with people, both as a still photographer and as a documentary filmmaker. (My passion for camera imagery extends beyond the still, as I am also an accomplished cinematographer and award-winning documentary film director. To see examples of my film exploits, please visit www.differentialfilms.com). I strive to bring out the true personality of my subjects, and tell a story with their photos. As a master of lighting, with natural and artificial, I focus on studio work, but will occasionally work on location as well. My studio is conveniently located in Pioneer Square.
In my work with models and talent, I tap into my years of experience as a commercial and fashion photographer, including working as a test photographer for the world's top men's magazine in the 1990s.
