Keegan Allen is an American actor who’s best known for playing the character Toby Cavanaugh on the ABC Family TV show Pretty Little Liars. He’s also a passionate photographer. Above is a 3-minute interview USA Today recently did with Allen about his interest and background. Allen “never goes anywhere without a Leica by his side,” the paper says.
Allen says he came from an artistic family in which his actor father was a hobbyist photographer and his mother was a watercolor painter. His first camera was a Leica M6, given to him when he was just 10 years old.
He now owns quite a few Leica cameras, including a $7,200 black-and-white-only Leica M Monochrom.
The actor recently published his first photo book, a 320-page hardcover book titled life.love.beauty.

You can find some of his personal photography through his Tumblr and Instagram pages.
Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
