Keegan Gibbs is an american photographer, he photographs a variety of different subjects but has a huge chunk of his portfolio dedicated to photographing graffiti and their artists at work throughout city settings. Near enough all of his photos resemble a high iso/saturation almost lomography style (oooh, a possible style to look at?), although I haven't been able to find out if its through post production or that he is actually a fan of traditional film cameras.
As you can see, his photographs are fairly grainy, which adds to the atmosphere of the photograph in my opinion and I actually quite like it (although I think I will add grain and this general effect in post production so I can have control over it)
Not only do I absolutely love his graffiti work, but just the style and composition of the rest of his portfolio really inspires me. He keeps generally with the idea of capturing candid moments, like Rosie Hardy which is something I want to shoot rather than posed shots.
He's even done some tattoo shots!
So yeah, here's his blog as well.... his blog!
Just to finish off with a quote that I found while researching Gibbs, something that I would really like to relate to.
Civil:How would you like to be remembered…?
Keegan:As a good friend. As a photographer I want to be remembered as someone who was able to shine light on subjects in a direction that was never seen before.
