Misty Keasler

I am fascinated by spaces and architecture. Misty Keasler's work is a unique combination of ornate design and complex issues of humanity. Keasler began taking photographs at the age of seven with a simple Polaroid camera. She studied photography at Columbia College in Chicago, Illinois and has been a contributer to Newsweek, Texas Monthly, Harper’s, Art in America, Dallas Morning News, and the Photo District News. Her work includes a book recently published entitled Love Hotels, and won critical acclaim for collections such as the Guatemala City Dump and her Orphanage Series.
In particular, Keasler's photographs feature vibrant, saturated color, and amazing light and detail.
In addition to her stunning use of color, Keasler's knack for capturing emotion in a lighthearted and inviting way is evident in her multidimensional work.
