Biography

Joseph T. Keiley American, 1869-1914 Joseph Turner Keiley, a partner in the Manhattan law firm of Keiley and Haviland, was an amateur photographer and close associate of Alfred Stieglitz. Born in Maryland and raised in Brooklyn, Keiley took up photography in the mid-1880s and began exhibiting his work in 1898. The following year he joined the New York Camera Club, soon becoming one of its most active members. He served on the prints and the publications committees, and also as an associate editor of the club's journal, Camera Notes, developing a close friendship with editor Alfred Stieglitz. Keiley contributed numerous articles and reviews to Camera Notes and later joined Stieglitz's new publication, Camera Work, as an associate editor. During the first decade of the 20th century, Keiley participated in many exhibitions and became a founding member of the Photo-Secession. He also experimented with glycerine-developed platinum prints, collaborating with Stieglitz to perfect a process that allowed photographers better control in the development of a platinum print. Their method involved coating an exposed print with a layer of glycerine and then selectively painting the image with a brush dipped in developer to bring out certain areas. Keiley used this technique frequently in his work until his early death from Bright's disease. M.M.
