About Our Site Welcome to Keith Wilke Photography! This web site is designed to allow the visitor to purchase photographs I've taken over the years and to showcase my talents as a Portrait and Landscape Photographer. Biography I’ve always tried to capture the beauty in the places I’ve been. I grew up in the Arizona desert which has shaped my sense of what is beautiful and what is mundane.  When I moved to southern California I was moved by its beauty.  I started looking for a way to share what I saw with others, which eventually motivated me to buy my first camera. Since then, I’ve taken pictures in many different places in Southern California such as Yosemite, Sequoia, San Diego county, and Orange county.  I carry my camera with me in most of my travels within the USA which have included New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Colorado, and back to Arizona.  I’ve taken my camera with me every time I left the country; England, France,Jamaica, and Japan. I purchased my first camera (a Fujica AX3 35mm SLR) in 1980.  Since then, I’ve mastered different film formats: both 35mm and Medium format (120, 220). In this fast paced world, I’ve kept up with the latest technology which means moving to digital for most subjects I believe in using the right tool for the right job and I keep current with the latest tools. I’ve learned the value of photo retouching both for film and digital sources. Adobe Photoshop is an essential tool I’ve mastered, both for making a woman even more beautiful or bringing out the colors in a beautiful landscape
