New website launched: Ken Keen & Light from the Darkness is a comprehensive cover of the book “Christian Art and Places of Worship”. A collection of pictorial, handcrafted images to illustrate the subject. The website gives a comprehensive description of Ken’s routine and method for making photographs of church interiors using a large format camera and historical or ‘alternative’ printing methods.
By virtue of being handcrafted, each original picture has its own intrinsic beauty, and that makes the image unique. There is a special aesthetic when photographs are made using a Historical Process. The composition and the appearance of these images resonate with a spiritual and romantic undertone. The alternative processes give this collection of images a timeless feel. This allows the viewer to experience the photographer’s presence, proof that the artist is an integral part of the work.
“Perception is, I believe, the key to unlocking the darker world, a world as it appears to many with Visual Impairment. Living as I do, in such a world that appears but dimly lit, living in a state of permanent twilight, gives me a great and beautiful feeling of peace.”
Ken lost most of his sight after surgery to remove a nasal tumor. He is a Fellow of the Royal Photographic Society RPS and a Fellow of the Disabled Photographers Society. In recent years, Ken was Chairman of the RPS Archaeology and Heritage Group, even though he was by that time, registered as blind.
