j. kiely jr.’s Summary

J. Kiely Jr., experienced photojournalist and independent professional photographer – here for the photos.

Currently seeking all manner of dynamic corporate imagery, commercial imaging, and extended social documentary projects.

A staff photographer at daily and community newspapers since May 1994, I developed a keen news judgment and the ability to think multiple steps ahead while staying in tune with my surroundings. I make every effort to create images apart from the crowd by advanced study and planning always getting the picture in any environment.

Before my decade-plus adventure in newspapers, I was an event and second camera wedding photographer at a suburban family photography studio.

While at college I balanced my studies in political science and art by making images for every possible on campus outlet in addition to some freelance work for the city daily The Worcester Telegram & Gazette.

–– I am a photographer. With experience and the skills to photograph on land, under the sea and in the air.

Please contact if I could help your next project or for more information.
