Kevin Hayes

Kevin Hayes is a Los Angeles based photographer with some really interesting and compelling imagery. What I find most interesting about his work it’s the way he captures and unveils the many characters in the photographs. Playing with the muted colors, lighting and backgrounds there’s is the sensation that time has stopped and a tension of what would have happened next after the shot was taken.

    I like the feeling that you feel seeing these- guilt, disturbed, vulgar and then you feel the honesty of the real world and the realism.
