SOFTCOVER VERSION:
Finding the Edge Portraits of men ex... By Vincent Keith Book Preview
Hello, and welcome.
I am a London based photographer interested in most forms of photography. I am a relatively recent convert to digital photography and have always been sad at having to make the compromise between quality and convenience. I shoot pretty much everything from architecture and landscape to still life and travel, to figurative work.
People have asked me about my equipment and how I get the "look" I create in my images. As for the "look", I shoot most of my nudes/portraits in my home studio (generally against a black velvet backdrop) and I use anywhere between one and four flash units with soft-box attachments and umbrellas.

fuzzbelly says:
"Vincent's photography is filled with as much attitude as sexuality. It's not hard to enjoy photography of models with such impressive physiques, but it's the way he drapes them in shadow and adds atmospheric touches that really sets his work apart from the rest.
I love so much of his stuff, there should just be a great big favourite button on Vincent's account."5th December, 2010

ConcreteX says:
"I'll keep it simple: a brilliant man, a fantastic photographer and someone it is impossible not to admire. There were points in the shoot that I would have done anything for him. The session will live in my memory for a long, long time. Thank you."

"One of my first Flickr friends - many times through viewing his stream, Vincent's photos, he has taken my breath away.
His use of lighting is extraordinary, and his ability to get the best from his subjects.
I have been lucky enough to be photographed by Vincent. As a fellow photographer (but, very, very amateur), he was generous to give me advice and talk me through the shots he was taking - making me feel at ease, and giving me an opportunity to learn.
With regard to giving technical advice, he has been on hand to offer me this several times, along with bags of encouragement to boot!
What is refreshing is that Vincent has an ability and keen eye for photos that's not just dependent on expensive kit and studio work. I get enjoyment from his landscape work, the ongoing series of him exploring self expression in hotel rooms worldwide, his observations of life in the capital. There is a distinct "Vincentness" that is apparent through his varied disciplines.
A charming man, he literally charmed the pants off me. Oh, and a bloody good cook too."12th August, 2008

"well so many good things are already told by others - and i agree with them.
You got excellent eye for the shots you take and you got a perfect eye for details and you perfectly know how to realize an excellent quality picture of all
BRAVO - Roland a german admirer of your pictures"5th July, 2007

GianOrso says:
"I have discovered the art of Vincent, by chance, on another american photographers forum, crowded of rednecks and religious, morality freaks. I have been captured immediatly by his elegant sensuality, his great use of photographic techniques, his intelligent use of editing/cropping and his flood of passion and heart in taking pics of the most handsome, erotic men I've seen on web. A mix that easily made me become a real addict for his works. Bravo Vincent!"

"Photobear your work is amazing, I could spend a week commenting on your great shots. What you are doing now is what I would like to achieve. Your models amazing as well. Men tend to be less hairy with not so many skins in Australia ;o(
