There's something truly special about Keenan Gibbs' photography. It has to do with the fact that he takes a relatively tough subject and shows a different side of it. Although he immerses himself in the punk, skater and graffiti scene, he shows the fun-loving side of it all rather than its darker counterpart.
Having recently graduated from film school, Keenan Gibbs decided to devote his time to surfing, traveling and hanging out with friends. His photography is almost a documentary of this time. It's appropriate that his style is equally candid and raw.
Filled with action shots, playful portraits and more, Keenan Gibbs' photographic portfolio is a delight to browse through. It inspires one to get out there to enjoy life as well.
