I am an aspiring Native American (Sac&Fox) photographer and I have been photographing for the last 9 years initially starting out with a point and shoot and eventually ending up with my current camera a Nikon D3300. I have been concentrating for the last year and a half on moving my photography out of the realm of serious hobbyist into that of a more accomplished professional. I am specializing in fashion and fine art portraiture but I also possess a significant love for contemplative, abstract, still life, and nature photography and I have also managed some freelance and wedding work as well. Also to better understand what I am attempting to capture and portray in my photography here is a list of my creative influences (spanning numerous art forms) and they are Catholicism, Gregorian Chant, Caravaggio, Andrei Tarkovsky, Ingmar Bergman, Stanley Kubrick, Bela Tarr, Maya Deren, F. Holland Day, Julia Margret Cameron, Minor White, Sally Mann, Richard Avedone, Pierre Et Gilles, Josef Kouldeka, Stephan Micus, Dead Can Dance, Mercury Rev, Beethoven, Arvo Part, Dostoevsky, Umberto Eco, John Of The Cross, Rumi and of course Mr. beauty and truth himself John Keats. So please feel free to look at my photos and critique, or comment upon them and hopefully add them your favorite list as well. I would also like to add that if you do these things for my photos I will do the same for yours as well and with that I look forward with tremendous excitement and great pleasure to seeing everyone else's photos.

Sincerely,

Kevin Gibbs
