Introduction

When collaborating, I enjoy familiarising myself with the conceptual foundation of each project, and creating images that respond sensitively to both the context and the visual culture in which the work is embedded. Depending on the project’s nature, desired outcome, and audience, my visual approach can shift from a more classic documentary perspective to a subtly interpretive one. Recently, I have been increasingly interested in documenting production processes and moments behind-the-scenes – embracing the unfinished, the transitional, and the raw.
The images shown here are a selection intended solely to give a brief insight.

For inquiries or collaborations, please feel free to get in touch to discuss how your work or project could be documented. (E-Mail: hello@simonkeckeisen.com)

Selected Documentary Work Alongside my main photography practice, I occasionally take on documentary commissions for cultural institutions, artists, creative professionals, and design-related initiatives. This aspect of my work developed organically through ongoing collaborations with like-minded creatives in the cultural field.
