keithcarlos.com is an omniscient creative umbrella encompassing 3 primary sectors of artistry, imagination and growth. it is a continuous photographic transcendence expressed in the principle that learning and development is a perpetual process.

” he who has imagination without learning has wings but no feet. - joseph joubert “

.
the 1st sector is visual anthology. this innovative digest is the fusion of event, nightlife, art, architecture and fashion towards creative imagination and prolific artistry. it envelopes the niche for celebrity gatherings and special event photography. outlets consist of fashion shows and runways, backstage, slice of life, features, salon and store openings, launch and release parties, art shows, artistic functions, opening receptions, charity benefits, music and dj concerts, nightlife and nightclub event photography.

visual anthology blends photographic essentials, photojournalistic features, substantial compositional elements and a creative spice.

just because you have a camera, does not mean you know how to shoot. having expensive gadgets and gears do not mean you will execute the photographs well. the cheapest, most uncool and most primitive gear can creatively and substantially outperform an image shot with the most expensive, most high tech and trendiest gadget you have.

think of it in this parallel manner. ill let you use the latest, most innovative and most expensive nikey air jordans. you then play against kobe bryant wearing only the cheapest non branded or even worn out sneakers in the world. who do you honestly think can play closest to michael jordan? which one of you will come out on top?

its all about the skills. inspiration not duplication, passion not machines produces compelling photographs. the artist’s eye, patience and skills make an image not the tools or gear. the magic comes from within, from your soul and from your heart. it is this essence that envelopes my work.

.

the 2nd sector is mental stimulus. this is a level beyond visual anthology. photography is against the status quo. creative shots have a new and different twist. artistic images don’t follow the mainstream. seemingly simple pictures, when perceived in depth, have so much substance. each photo element tells a story. photos are iconic. whatever is standard or follows the norm is never tolerated. photographs are unorthodox, take a different path and out of the box. shooting styles done by everyone are boring.

mental stimulus is the next phase. it is currently a glimpse of the future. presently, mental stimulus is being built. the roots are being strengthened and solidified. it is in preparation of bigger things to come.

.

the 3rd sector is eclectify. in essence, it is eternal. it is wild. it is the spirit which is vast and infinite. right now that is all you need to know.
