Searching at his arrange it appears like Kim Keever has his camera in the best place in the proper time for taking stunning landscape photos. But unlike that debacle within the shot from the wolf jumping within the fence, Keever readily confesses his shots are fake, produced in an exceedingly controlled studio atmosphere.
He first begins by creating the landscapes themself, in miniature, in the large 200 gallon tank. It is then filled towards the brim with water, lit using colored lights, after which augmented with colored background objects and foreground props. To produce the fog, mist and cloud effects, he simply flows pigments in to the tank and rapidly button snaps a photograph together with his large format camera before they are in a position to completely mix using the water. Though completely artificial, Keever appears to place as much thought into composition and lighting like a digital photographer awaiting an ideal moment at beginning, and the results possess a certain art work landscape oil painting aesthetic for them. An exhibit of his work just opened up in the David B. Cruz Gallery in Colorado, Colorado, and runs until November 19th. I question if younger crowd does photography by doing this [David B.
