About

Keith Forbes — Universal Black Media

Keith Forbes.
Photographer, videographer, and media producer based in Philadelphia.

I started Universal Black Media to solve a problem I kept running into: businesses and creatives in Philadelphia needed high-quality visual content, but the options were either too expensive, too slow, or too generic.

UBM is a solo operation, which means every shoot, every edit, and every delivery goes through me. You work directly with the person behind the camera, start to finish.

My work spans portraits, sports, events, editorial, and brand content. The through line is the same across all of it — light that flatters, compositions that hold attention, and delivery that doesn't keep you waiting.

I shoot Canon, edit in DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, and Photoshop. Turnaround is measured in days, not weeks.
