About

Keith Burgess, born in Detroit in 1973, is a self-taught artist. Pursuing photography since the age of 28, he has twice won The Center for Railroad Photography and Art’s Creative Photography Gold Award (2007, 2009), and has been exhibited at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA. Burgess strives to reveal the underlying emotion of what he describes as otherwise “everyday mundane objects.” The images in his series “Portrait of the American Landscape” and “Architecture of Decline” convey solitude, sadness, loss, and longing.
