INSTRUCTOR GALLERY - Christine Keith

Christine Keith sees photography as a ticket of admission to explore the world, and looks for subject matter with extraordinary light or emotion. An Arizona native with a passion for people, landscape and teaching, she started her career with fine art black and white photography. She picked up a 4x5 camera and color transparency film when she began to freelance for Arizona Highways and other editorial magazines 25 years ago. For over 10 years she has been shooting digital cameras as a staff photographer at the Arizona Republic newspaper, a position she's held since 1989. A non-techie, she's remained a photographer because of her interest in people, social issues and wilderness. She's led numerous workshops for Arizona Highways and works as an adjunct professor in photojournalism at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at Arizona State University. She holds a Masters in Visual Communication from Ohio University. Awards include Outstanding Faculty Associate, Walter Cronkite School of Journalism, and the Leica Medal of Excellence.
