Kenneth Keifer*
King, NC | Provisional Member
Since before his days as a high school yearbook photographer, Ken Keifer, has loved photography…the art, the craft, the science, the colors, geometry, emotion, play of light and shadows, recording a special moment in time and space….everything about it! Photography is a passion of Ken’s that helps satisfy his God-given creative drive. Ken loves what Ansel Adams, arguably the greatest landscape photographer ever, once said, “Sometimes I get to places just when God’s ready to have somebody click the shutter.”
Ken, a frequent speaker and judge at camera clubs and artist groups, is consistently ranked one of Indiana’s best photographers. He recently topped a list of “5 Best Landscape Photographers of Indianapolis” by PeerSpace and has been named one of Indiana’s Top Ten Photographers multiple years by the Indianapolis Professional Photographers Guild. Ken was most honored and thrilled to have two of his waterfall photographs featured on 2023 US postage stamps. His award-winning work has been featured by USA Today, CNN Travel, Pure Michigan, Visit Indiana, many websites, international television shows, books, travel guides and maps, calendars, concerts and music videos, airports, businesses, thousands of offices and private homes, and in churches in all fifty states and around the world.
It is Ken’s hope that the photos displayed here inspire and intrigue you…or maybe simply make you linger in your looking and cause you to smile. Enjoy the imagery as you peruse. And, Ken would be most honored if you have the means and desire to make a purchase. But, even if not, please relax and enjoy the imagery presented here.
In addition to this website, Ken’s photography is also available at CCA Gallery, where he is an artist/owner, in the Arts and Design District of Carmel Indiana (111 West Main Street) as framed prints, canvases, metals, and matted prints. Ken also participates in several art fairs each year and serves on the committees of two prestigious art fairs, the Talbot Street Art Fair in Indianapolis and Bloomington, Indiana’s 4th Street Festival of Arts and Crafts.
