Misty Keasler

Almost immediately upon viewing Misty Keasler’s work, the viewer is struck by her use of color and form. Even when people are her subjects, they are used almost more as elements of form than as human subjects. Colors are very bold and almost always primary and secondary colors (as well as black and white). Again, the statement seems to be more about form and color, than about the actual subject in the image. Another interesting feature of her photographs is the exclusive use of the square format. All that said, her subject matter is unique, ranging from the “Love Hotels” of Japan to orphanages in Russia. Her viewpoint is very unique.
