John Keatley

John Keatley often self-characterizes his work as a reflection of himself, rather than the individual he is photographing. In recent years, his journey of self-discovery has brought clarity to emotions that have always been present yet were previously unknown. Anxiety. Fear. Isolation.

    I'm trying to narrow down what my style is. I took this class to find inspiration and direction. I enjoyed John's commentary about the trajectory of his career. I'm taking his other classes, and look forward to completing those. I wound up feeling inspired once I completed this course.

    This was my first class with Creative Live and it was amazing! John Keatley is very informative and made sure he took the time to answer any questions thoroughly. I will definitely take another of John's courses!

    John Keatley shares his personal journey to the pinnacle of his genre, which came by continually exploring and developing his deeper desires and passions–and expressing them through personal work, which opened the door to commercial work. It began by walking away from a dependable income that left him unsatisfied, and has grown by constantly challenging himself and following his instincts, pushing, experimenting, and collaborating. He urges each person to be in touch with their own passions and blaze their own path, a message echoed and exemplified in his more recent three-day CreativeLive class, “Portrait Photography: Creating and Styling Your Own Environment.” His teaching style is filled with examples and stories of how he learned through failures and successes, which will embolden the listener to do the same as they launch their own journey.
