Major subjects in his work have included the collapse of [[Soviet Union]] and [[India]]. Robert Koch gallery describes his work as investigating "marginalized social groups and constructs uncritical psychological portraits which work to familiarize the 'other.'"<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kochgallery.com/artists/contemporary/de_Keyzer/index.html |title=Robert Koch Gallery |accessdate=3 December 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20101203164947/http://www.kochgallery.com/artists/contemporary/de_Keyzer/index.html |archivedate=3 December 2010 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

He was nominated to the [[Magnum Photos]] agency in 1990, became an associated member in 1992 and a full member in 1994. He currently lives in Ghent and continues to teach.

In late 2024, he stirred controversy with a new book called ''Putin’s Dream'', created with the help of [[AI]]. It is intended as a harsh criticism of Putin’s Russia. The book drew both fierce criticism as well as praise for its pushing of boundaries, openness to working with new technologies and interrogating the place of AI in the future of photography. Magnum Photos have distanced themselves from the book.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-12-25 |title=A photographer created 'fake' images of Russia with generative AI.
