Every picture tells a story…
Keith does not profess to be a 'proper' photographer. For him a photograph serves as a portal through which the viewer is drawn in to experience the unfamiliar, or discover the hidden context of the subject. He is an enthusiastic explorer, capturing wild and forgotten places on camera, both over and underground. Keith is also a musician and this work combines his photographs with his music and words all inspired by the beauty and mystery of the world around him.
Keith is an officially recognised speaker by the
Shropshire Women's Institute and regularly presents entertaining talks to local WI's and other groups. If you would like to book Keith then please

The Collection and Exhibitions - SpArC Gallery Winter 2023/4 and May 2025
The world is full of awe-inspiring places. There is wonder to be found all
around you should you only look. Beauty, majesty, history, drama, humour,
tragedy - the stories are everywhere and are captivating. With an explorer's zeal Keith has amassed photographs, words and music that have a special
significance for him because of the stories they tell. They are taken from 3 of
his favourite 'worlds':
- Our World - Bishop's Castle and other nearby favourite places
- Lost Worlds - abandoned but not forgotten buildings
- Other Worlds - underground worlds - journeys in liminal
space
