Bio
Keva Rosenfeld, a Los Angeles filmmaker/photographer, started taking photographs the day his mother got him a camera at age twelve. While in high school, he directed dozens of super-8 and 16mm shorts and later graduated from USC School of Cinema.
Early in his film career Keva edited documentaries on subjects from teenage pregnancy andpolice shootings to prison rodeos. His feature film, “Twenty Bucks,” starred Elisabeth Shue, Brendan Fraser, Steve Buscemi and Christopher Lloyd, and debuted at The Sundance Film Festival. He has also directedcommercials, television, public service campaigns, documentaries, an animated short and films for UN Refugee Agency, highlighting world poverty.
Since the 1990’sKeva has exhibited his photographs in the Los Angeles area including his L.A. by Car series at G. Ray Hawkins Gallery and at Mad River Post, Santa Monica; Visions of L.A. at Thomas Lavin andAmerican Landscapes at the MTV Show at thePacific Design Center.
Drawn to Polaroids in his early teens, as an adult Keva became obsessed with the Captiva – the much-hyped but short-lived instantcamera that he took with him everywhere. His up-close, intimate portraits of notable actors and filmmakers have a new relevance with the recent resurgence of analog photography.
