"This past year has been filled with the most amazing adventure; the arrival of my daughter Kaya. This transformed my life in a new and magical way, and added so much love and exploration to my life and work and it surely has kept me busy. Kaya is my fairy tale come true.

"Work has also kept me busy; I worked for Reebok, The Times of London, KQED TV, Heidrick & Struggles, Hewlett Packard, Pasolivo olive oil, Vista Higher Learning and Shape Magazine. I also attended two FotoWorks events, one in LA and one in NY, with Kaya in-toe. She comes with my everywhere I go, and I cannot wait to explore life, the arts and commerce with her."

Passion and precision - a perfectly matched pair - and two qualities Miles Keep brings to his life and to every assignment. He’s a world-class photographer, champion cyclocross racer, dedicated family man, and soccer team manager.

Miles is a first-generation Palo Alto native, born to an art director dad and graphic designer mom. After graduation from Art Center College of Design, he sharpened his eye and his technique by working with some of the best photographers in San Francisco. He opened his own studio in Silicon Valley in 1992, and was quickly shooting award-winning campaigns for the best and brightest in the Valley.

Many of his current clients started working with Miles early on, and his business has expanded year after year, with happy clients spreading the word:

"The work is always on time, on budget, and beautifully produced, without drama... we always walk out of the studio having had a great time, with images that exceed our expectations."

Real food. Real people. Real fun. That’s photographer/filmmaker Scott Peterson's approach. For more than 25 years, Scott has been keeping his clients happy with his delicious images. His passion for food (ask him about his technique for smoking ribs) is matched only by his precision of light and appetite appeal in every shot.

Scott aims to bring the beautiful light of the Dutch Master’s to food photography. Not surprisingly, he hails from a family of Flemish painters and cooks.

“You’ve got to tell a story with your image - whether it’s a product shot or still life,” Scott tells his University photography students. “And you do that by creating beautiful light, choosing the right props and composing with a critical eye. Texture, mood, highlights and shadows need to be considered along with great attention to detail while keeping the set spontaneous.”
