Keith Who?
Born and raised near Upminster in Essex I left school at 16 and joining the Merchant Navy, which enabled me to travel abroad for the first time. I went to New Zealand, the south Pacific islands of Samoa and Fiji and South Africa. This experience opened my eyes to the variety of cultures and places on this planet. As much as I fought it sea-sickness for a seaman is a major draw back; so after a couple of years I reluctantly decided to seek employment on dry land.
In 1980 I joining the London Fire Brigade. After working in the City of London as a firefighter I took on the role as one of the Operational Brigade Photographers. I moved from London, in 1991, to Ipswich in Suffolk and live there with my wife and three children.
My interest in photography grew with the birth of our first child and after joining a local photographic society I built my own darkroom and started developing and printing black and white images. In 1998, along with two friends, we formed the Glasseye Photographic Group and exhibit annually in Ipswich at the Tourist Information Centre. My interest in the arts prompted me to embark on a degree course with the Open University and in 2005 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Humanities with Art History.
