About

Kiff Backhouse is a photographer based in the Languedoc area of South West France. Using a mix of both traditional and digital techniques, his individual style is captivating and vibrant.

In addition to his Fine Art Photography, he is also well known for his Property & Product Photography. Properties photographed by Kiff continue to enjoy the exceptional improvements in their sales and rentals.

His passion for photography started at an early age, back in the days of film, with his first camera begged and borrowed from his Mum and long afternoons spent in the school camera club darkroom.

Driven by the need to showcase his wife’s jewellery creations, Kiff began his shift from enthusiast to professional. The challenge to capture forms, textures, patinas and depth of colour provided an opportunity to specialise.

An original career spent largely in the I.T. industry is now integrated with the world of digital photography. His interest in the technical aspects of today’s computer based post-processing is partnered with the consideration of light and colour and its relationship to composition in artistic impressions.

Kiff believes in achieving a natural balance between what you see through the lens and enormous capabilities of computer post-processing. His style is captivating and vibrant.

Kiff creates photographs that you expect to see, but which compel you to linger over them.
