About
Originally hailing from the eternally damp Pacific Northwest, Anne Keller made her way to the desert Southwest some 25 years ago. She now resides in Fruita, Colorado, a town best known for a festival celebrating a chicken who got its head cut off (true story) Also there’s some mountain biking there.
A longtime photographer for Bike magazine, Keller took a pause from photos to follow some blissful ignorance telling her that opening a pizzeria was a good idea. It was, actually. After co-founding and operating The Hot Tomato for 15 years, Keller is now post-pizza, turning her attention back to photography and video pursuits, and enjoying a career that doesn’t involve smelling like garlic every night.
Her current work focuses on brands and publications within the outdoor industry. She contributes to magazines such as Freehub, and for clients such as Patagonia, Pivot Cycles, Osprey, Juliana bicycles, Liv cycling and Yeti, amongst others.
An avid mountain biker, her favorite rides are the ones trending towards disaster, but not quite crossing over that tipping point. She loves monstrous thunderstorms, broken derailleurs, bear sightings, and grueling hike-a-bikes, anything really that makes for good fodder afterwards over a nice, cold beverage.
To see how great she looks dressed up like an old lady, please check out the Patagonia film Life Of Pie. https://vimeo.com/344361560
