DETROIT, MI - Growing up on the west-side of the Detroit, Terrance Ashworth Keith had never seen a sunrise on the Detroit River until he moved as an adult to downtown Detroit. While the sunrise is always present, the sunrise often goes noticed or its essence not captured showing images of the beautiful intersection of the sun and river. This revelation inspired his first edition of the book published by Keith’s publishing company, Ashworth & Keith. The photography book consists of a hard cover, dust jacket and nearly 100 vibrant color images and reflective quotes.

“Many have never seen the Detroit River at sunrise,” said photographer Terrance Keith. “When I witnessed the sunrise above the Detroit River for the first time, my view of my city was transformed. The images unapologetically counter the often popularly referenced “ruin porn” used to define and show Detroit at its worse; we are so much more.”

Keith describes Sunrise on the Detroit River as “a love story of how the sun gently rises in a colorful array of light, anew each day.” It is his love letter to the city he adores represented by thousands of photographs he’s taken since 2007 and continuing to present-day. Nearly one-hundred breathtaking photographs taken on the banks of the Detroit River and along landmarks of the Detroit Riverwalk and Belle Isle have been selected for the book the inaugural.

Celebrating Detroit’s 313th birthday this year, the timing is fitting to highlight images on the banks of the Detroit River. Keith concludes, “Amidst decades of challenging times for the city, many Detroiters - those who have left and those who stayed - understandably, may have lost site of the city’s history and contributions to the state of Michigan, the nation and the world. My hope is to provide reflections, perspectives and unabashed love for the city that inspired my love of photography by sharing images that are with us every day on our riverfront - in the best of times and the worst of times.” Advanced orders of the book has reached more than eight-hundred and interest continues to build.
