My full name is Wahwahsemoog Keesic, which translated means "lightening in the sky." Being Ojibway from Mnjikaning First Nation has really defined who I am as a person and as an artist, shaping the way in which I see and connect with the world around me. Through photography light becomes both subject matter as well as the tool used to create images.

My approach to photography is simple: do what it takes to get the shot. The philosophy I have learned during my experiences in life and as a photographer is that it comes down to trust. It's the client trusting that I can get the job done to their specific requirements, whether for the cover of a magazine or a personal portrait session. There is also a trust formed between the photographer and the subject being photographed, an ability to give into the moment to get the image required on part of the subject and the ability to predict and capture the moment on part of the photographer.

Every time the camera is in my hand it is another opportunity for me to capture a moment, preserving it to share with everyone who sees it. Creating each image, every look and feel means paying attention to the smallest of details.
