Although I’ve been a professional photographer for 30 years, this website does not include any of my client work. This is my personal site filled with what’s most important to me. Not only does the pursuit of these images inspire me creatively, they also push me to experience life fully while giving voice to my beliefs and feelings.
You’ll find two galleries of work here, which at first may seem like a strange duo. The first collection includes photographs and stories from my outdoor adventures. It’s on these adventures that I feel most alive. Not only are we living in the moment, we’re experiencing a wide variety of emotions that are intensified by our physical excursion and the dramatic surroundings. When experiencing danger and occasionally my own mortality, I find myself becoming hyperaware of life’s biggest questions, along with our most valuable coping skills.
The second body of work, The Empathy Series, is therefore a collection of allegorical photographs that discuss the emotional human element within the grand scale of nature. This series was born of my life experiences, photographic skills, creativity, and my desire to help strengthen the connection we have with one another. The second body of work would not exist without the first.
Much love,
Keith Sutter
