BFA David Keller Displays Talent and Character in Award-Winning Work

It’s hard to pin down David Keller’s best work. He’s won four awards in various categories the past two years at AAU’s Spring Show and a Merit Award in Advertising at The One Show in New York this year. This is all before he graduated with a BFA in Web Design + New Media.

As a student, he worked with the web development team for Signatures Network who represents artists like the Beatles, Madonna, and Kanye West; shot golf courses and retouched images for a Flash based video game for the World Golf Tour; photographed fashion images for H&M; and brought to life the faces of those dealing with AIDS for the San Francisco AIDS Foundation’s city-wide marketing effort.

While his work spans across media, it’s clear that he understands campaign and branding, and that his love is photography.

Browse through his website, and enjoy family shots that don’t make the typical American photo album – like the project “Second Amendment” that shows his family and friends passion about the right to bear arms.

You’ll also see his 2009 Spring Show award-winning campaign “Everlast Boxing” that spans from print, web, video and photography.

David says: “This was a project that I wanted to do for about two years now. I have a big interest in the sport of boxing and felt the need to focus on the boxing aspect of Everlast and showcase the sport by its gritty roots.”

He certainly has a knack for getting at the essence of the project at hand, which is why we had a hard time leaving his portfolio site.
