Chris Keeney, a San Diego California based professional photographer, creates images with the highest of integrity and originality. Specializing in portraits (babies, children, families, couples, graduates), weddings (bridals and engagement), lifestyle, events (parties, corporate meetings, etc.) - as well as personal and fine art projects.
Primarily shooting digital, Chris Keeney constantly is refining his passion for traditional film and alternative film processes. Well known for his pinhole cameras and hand-made prints, distinguishes him as a one of the most unique photographers of his time and area. Bringing an unparalleled eclectic eye to the [viewfinder] of his camera (a marriage between his literal and intuitive eyes), he channels his style to reflect that of his clients’ vision and essence. Chris’ love for his family, children and friends has taught him the importance of time/timing; flaming his desire to preserve each moment as it unfolds. For him, knowing photographs he takes will touch lives, or simply bring a smile to someone’s face by visually recording a memorable moment that will be passed down through generations, fills him with gratitude and humility.
