New York Times VOWS
Edward Keating has lived and worked as a photographer in New York City for over twenty-five years. As a staff photographer for The New York Times for over a decade, he won a Pulitzer Prize and several other awards for his unvarnished type of realism. Co-creating the popular wedding photo-column, "VOWS," his wedding photos were twice nominated for the Pulitzer. According to David Griffin, Director of Photography at National Geographic Magazine, "VOWS," and its new journalistic approach to weddings "changed the genre of wedding photograhy,".
With his career as a photo-journalist still flourishing, Mr. Keating does more than simply take beautiful and provocative photographs from the day - he tells the story of the day with his strong narrative voice. Between the more staged, predictable events and the candid, off-beat moments, his pictures tell a story in a most personal way. He typically works with his wife, Carrie Boretz a veteran NYC photographer, who has photographed for major magazines including New York TImes Magazine and Fortune; she is currently the Photo Editor at Golf Magazine. Separate and together, their photographs have been internationally recognized and have impressed brides as much as the critics.
In 1997 "VOWS: Weddings of the Nineties from The New York Times" was published by William Morow and Co. and in 1998 Mr Keating had a one-person exhibit, "VOWS!," at the
Norton Museum of Art
in West Palm Beach, FL. in 1998. The column was included in The Times national edition, in 1997, after five years. In 2000, he addressed the National Geographic Society at their annual meeting on this new wave of wedding photography.
Mr. Keating's photographs are part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC, the Norton Museum of Art and are held in many private collections. In addition, there have been one-man shows of his wedding photographs at the Camera Club of New York and in 1997 at Visa Pour L'Image, the international photo-journalistic held annually in Perpignan, France.
Since 2000, Mr, Keating has been working on a book on the famed U.S. highway, Route 66, and exhibited photographs from that collection in Pingyao, China in September of 2006. Most recently, in September of 2007, he traveled back to China for the second year in a row, this time with the photographer, Robert Frank, where Keating's "New York City" was shown alongside Frank's seminal work, "The Americans." In 2007 he was also a part of a two-person show at the Leica Gallery in New York City. The Keatings have two daughters, Caitlin and Emily, and reside in Manhattan.
