SHAWN KIEFFER
Explore urban landscapes through the powerful photography of Shawn Kieffer.
Much of Kieffer’s work examines urban spaces where he captures elements from nature while simultaneously allowing us to observe the subtle co-existence between the natural and man-made worlds.
Photographing diverse cities in his travels around the world, we are able to examine the structures that inhabit and often help define our unique cities.
