Sharply attuned to the interface of land and water, Keith Skinner uses his photographic fine art to explore the many facets of those environments, encouraging the viewer to appreciate it with different eyes than before.
He has been compelled to look closer at his subjects, discovering unimaginable colors, patterns hues and textures that are invisible from a distance.
