Interview On PDN Features
Posted by John Keatley | Filed under Personal Work, Press & Interviews
PDN just posted a great online article with interviews from me and Danny Wilcox Frazier (here). It covers our work in the new American Youth book that was released this month. We have been getting some fantastic press for this, and none of it would have been possible without the wonderful people at Redux.
I am getting ready to head out to New York for two weeks, and I will finally get to see the actual book for the first time. I am also looking forward to talking with many of the people who put so much time and energy into this project. Should be fun.
This is an outtake from the book, but one of my favorite pictures from the Seagals pictures.
Special thanks to Jasmine DeFoore and Conor Risch for this article.

“American Youth” Photography Book
Posted by John Keatley | Filed under Personal Work
After a year of hard work and waiting, I am excited to announce that “American Youth” will be in stores and available online May 2009. That’s just a couple of months away! ”American Youth” is a 240-page photography book, that examines the newest generation of 18 to 24-year-olds in detail. The photographs are by Redux photographers, which I am proud to be one of.
I photographed two groups of young people for the book. Street youth in Seattle’s U-District, and three of the Sea Gals cheerleaders, the NFL cheerleaders for the Seattle Seahawks. The cheerleader picture above is an outtake, but it is one of my favorites. ”Define Girlfriend” is in the book. You can read a little more about my work on this project in a recent interview I did at Feature Shoot (read here).
I will post more of my favorite outtakes and pictures from the book as the book release gets closer, but for now you can head over to the “American Youth” blog and website. The website has bios of all the contributing photographers, as well as many of the pictures from the book.
