Bio

I'm Keith Bartholomew, travel and portrait photographer located in NE Florida. Finding the extraordinary in everyday places and celebrating our wonderful planet and the people on it. Photography is so much more than a job for me; it’s how I connect with people and the world around me. Whether I’m chasing the light in a beautiful landscape, exploring a new city with my camera, or helping someone feel comfortable during a portrait session, my goal is always the same: to create images that feel real, beautiful, and meaningful. I picked up a camera back in 2014 while I was still working in the tech world. My career took me all over the globe, but photography gave me something different—it gave me a way to slow down, notice the details, and capture moments that matter. By 2022, I decided to take the leap and turn that passion into my full-time work. Along the way, I’ve worked hard to grow as an artist and professional. I’ve earned my Certified Professional Photographer and Master Photographer designations through PPA, and I’ve been recognized in international competitions. But honestly, the best part isn’t the awards—it’s seeing someone light up when they see a portrait of themselves that feels authentic, or when a print of mine brings warmth and beauty into their home. These days, I focus on two main things: creating fine art prints inspired by my travels and landscapes, and photographing people—portraits, headshots, and the milestones that tell their story. At the end of the day, every photo I take is about more than composition—it’s about creating something lasting, something you’ll want to hold onto. I’d love the chance to create that for you.
