j. kiely jr.’s Summary

J. Kiely Jr., experienced independent photojournalist at your service.

With a modern studio in Taunton MA and all the professional gear to bring studio quality lighting to any location. Currently specializing in photojournalism, dynamic corporate imagery, and extended documentary projects.

My greatest strength is the proven ability to work well with most anybody coupled with a nimble and endlessly creative mind.

As a staff photographer at various levels of the local newspaper business since 1994, I learned to think four steps ahead and stay in tune with my surroundings. I take pride in beating 'the pack' by advanced planning and preparation. Before my decade-plus adventure in newspapers, I was, for a short time, a photographer in a local family photography studio. Back in college I kept very busy making images for every possible on campus outlet as well occasionally for the daily Worcester Telegram & Gazette newspaper. –– I take photographs. On land, under the sea and in the air.

Please make contact for more information.
