The Work of
Keith DeCristo
I grew up in Los Angeles, where I graduated summa cum laude from the University Of Hard Knocks and earned a masters degree in contemporary American literature written by tormented alcoholics and substance abusers. I always wanted to be a photographer. For my sins, I became one.
Every photograph that I have ever shot, on some level, is an homage to the master image makers that changed my perspective, deepened my understanding, then went someplace no one cared to look, and showed me something beautiful.
Today, I serve the film and television industry as an Lighting Electric/Gaffer/CLT in New York City, where I travel most often by motorbike from one gig to the next, and to the last remaining film labs in Manhattan. When I’m not on set, I moonlight as a quality assurance tester for fine Kentucky bourbons, ponder Bukowski, and question authority with unparalleled exuberance.
