ABOUT KEEFOGRAPHY

Keefography is owned and operated by John Keefover. Most people just call me Keef as it stands out more, and that’s what I try to achieve with my photos! I am based out of and capturing all things Duluth, Minnesota. I want to show you what makes the North Shore of Lake Superior & the Arrowhead Region so unique. It’s the beautiful landscapes, friendly people, and local businesses that make this area great. I’m all about spreading positivity and creating a community over competition!

I got into photography 20 years ago. I was just having fun taking photos of my friends biking, skateboarding, and goofing off. What I was really doing was making memories. I learned how to develop my own film in the dark room and bring those memories to life! I still use some of those same techniques in my digital editing workflow today, but I’m also constantly researching new ways to progress as an artist. It’s only recently in these past few years that I really got back into photography again and started to pursue it as more than just a hobby.

Photography goes hand-in-hand with my other passion: backpacking. Though I prefer to go as ultralight as I can with my camping gear, I’ll always haul around my camera kit! I enjoy going out on solo trips, as well as group trips with other photographers or YouTube backpackers.
