Kree-A-Tour has the ultimate eye for creativity.

“I find beauty in things that might not be beautiful to others,” says photographer, Kree Gumbs. His edgy style, eye for beauty, and amazing talent come off in every photo he shoots. Only 20 years old, this Brooklyn resident challenges what is trendy or hip and breaks barriers by juxtaposing what he sees as true beauty and what the world may categorize as beautiful. Initially, he began taking photographs for Myspace and his ability to capture moments continued to grow. Kree does not limit himself to a specific genre of photography. He takes pictures of anything that catches his eye from a parked yellow Lamborghini in Soho, NYC to a blue butterfly bush in his mother’s garden. “I like taking pictures of everything and anything that sparks my attention.” I attempted to get him to pick a favorite photo but Kree, like a proud father, loves all his pictures equally. He, however, feels what sets him apart from other young photographers is that he sees the world through a different pair of lenses. Kree sees beyond what is normal and what is accepted by society. He is never afraid to take a photograph that some may consider a risk. “I don’t feel people see what I see when I look at the world.” This theory reflects his idea that his photographs are taken based on his natural instinct to see beauty. It doesn’t take him long to catch a really stunning photograph “if the object is eye catching, I just focus and shoot,” says Kree. He is also interested in Video Editing, Graphic Design and “Anything Artsy.” Kree exemplifies the importance of youth engagement in the arts such as photography. I think Kree and I can agree that the world would be a rather boring place without art. It is amazing how he is able to touch so many different people of different ages, of different views, and perspectives with his photographs. Kree sees photography as an opportunity to express himself. It enables him to reveal to others a view of the world through his thick magnifying glasses.
