Hello, my name is John Keppler and thanks for coming by:
I have been working as a professional photographer for the last 17 years, where I have shot a wide array of images; everything from weddings, to professional sports (of all sorts), to wild animals in their own natural environments. The thing is, I took a keen interest in photography while I was still in high school, and branched out from then being soccer, and football, into sports photography. To date, my sports photography has been published in such mediums as Sports Illustrated (For Kids), MH-18 Magazine, both Surfer and Surfing Magazines, Transworld Surf Magazine, Australian Surfing Life Magazine, Longboard Magazine, Flow Magazine (Japan), Wave Action Magazine, Eastern Surf Magazine, not to mention many other regional and international publications, as well many local newspapers and township journals, and industry related business magazines.
My angle with my photography is knowing my subject, and portraying them as they are. I don't like “set-up”shots, and I refuse to capture someone in a manner that is just not “themself. I prefer my subjects to be airborne, or pushing themselves physically to a point that makes the image, and the shoot rather exciting!”
Currently through my photography business, I utilize my photos and the athletes I work with, to help today's magazines, and the athletes sponsors push tomorrow's professional athletes visually. Through this I'm also able to showcase to the less motivated, how any one person can become professional in their own ways, if they simply chase and pursue their dreams.
I hope that this website explains me as a person, my work as it is, and that you will leave with the insight of my life experiences.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail, or call , as I do respond to all correspondences personally.
Sincerely,
John
