Edward Keating lived and worked as a photographer in New York City from 1981-2021. Like previous generations of street photographers, he taught himself how to photograph by chronicling the street life of everyday New Yorkers. Within ten years, he was hired as a Staff Photographer at The New York Times where he covered national and international news and was a regular contributor to the Sunday New York Times Magazine.

In 2002, Keating was awarded the Pulitzer Prize as part of the New York Times team covering the attacks of 9/11. In 2008, Keating exhibited his collection “New York” alongside Robert Frank’s work at The Pingyao International Photography Festival in Pingyao, China. His collection of work on Route 66 was featured at Bursa Fotofest in Bursa, Turkey, in 2011.

Keating’s work resides in the permanent collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York City and The Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. His one-person exhibitions include; The Camera Club of New York, The Leica Gallery-New York, and at Visa Pour l’ image, the international photojournalism festival held annually in Perpignan, France.

In 2019 his book, “MAIN STRƎƎT: The Lost Dream of Route 66" was published by Damiani, a project he started in 2000 with a 22 photo essay shot for The New York Times Magazine.

Sadly, Ed Keating passed away on September 30, 2021.
