Keith McCoy

Pro Type: Photographer

My name is Keith McCoy, and I chose the camera as my weapon. This is a reference to the first book that I read upon losing my job and truly embarking on the path of an entrepreneur. The book is titled “A Choice of Weapons,” and it is the autobiography of legendary photographer Gordon Parks. It rekindled a passionate fire for photography and has become my way of life. I am a Detroiter, born and raised.

I am currently pursuing a Master’s of Fine Arts in Photography at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Upon graduation, my goal is to open my own Commercial studio, with a focus on fashion, music, and portraiture photography. It is my dream to create a space that fosters creativity and brings Detroit’s unique flavor and style to mainstream media, while having a positive impact on local businesses, artists, and students.
