Vogue | Darren Keith

Cast in tv commercials, films and print campaigns at an early age, it didn’t take long for native New Yorker Darren Keith to realize he wanted to be on the other side of the camera. At 18, he knew exactly what he wanted to do. At 21, he relocated to Los Angeles and was instantly exposed to the world of Hollywood glamour during his brief 2 years as a photo assistant. He has been developing his photographic style since the tender age of 23. In an industry filled with exceptional talent, part of Darren’s philosophy is that it’s not enough to just show up for work. His firm belief that exceeding his client’s expectations with creative and engaging imagery is an integral part of his work ethic. Darren has been a sanctioned photographer for the Burning Man organization since 2009, with plans to publish this amazing body of work in his first book, titled 'Ritual'. Darren has developed and directed many tv commercials for his clients. As Creative Director, he has been responsible for all aspects of pre-production to post-production through his production company, Metamorphosis. It’s been a natural progression for him and he is excited to engage this phase of his career with the same enthusiasm he has brought to his print work. Darren lives in New York City with his wife Deia and daughter Zoe.
