Kevin Beaty is an artist and journalist who's been covering Denver for a decade. He started off making short documentaries for Westword magazine and taking portraits for the Denver Business Journal.

In that position, he's been recognized for writing, radio stories, data analysis and design in addition to his visual journalism. He wears a lot of hats, but he still prefers digging into long-term photography projects when he gets the chance.
