Conceptual Photography by Geof Kern

Media_httpphotohabcom_gdcsg

Geof Kern stands among the most awarded American photographers. His very distinctive work is a combination of rationalism and conceptualism, inspired by “post-modernist” painters. Geof Kern works on a storyboard before shooting, creating images with a particular cinematographic mood and capturing a very original world.

Some of Kern's shots are silent and still, reminiscent of the stoic acting styles of Buster Keaton, while others include a touch of whimsy. His fashion photography serves as more than simple visuals designed to display clothes and accessories. The creative photographer's images are driven by narratives that stimulate the viewer and evoke a variety of reactions. He has mastered the art of storytelling by wisely taking his time to plot out each shot before a shoot by drawing up storyboards. Kern says, “Sometimes you’ve just got to ask yourself, why leave spontaneity to chance?” His photographs are exhibited all around the world.
