American photographer

George Seeley was a student of painting and drawing in Boston when he met
Frederick Holland Day, who introduced him to the pictorial possibilities of
photography. His debut came in 1904, when Seeley exhibited fourteen
photographs in the First American Photographic Salon in New York. A
reviewer enthused: "Mr. Seeley is the new man for whom we are always on the
lookout, and his advent among pictorialists will be the sensation of the
year." The statement proved true. Critical of the exhibition but supportive
of Seeley's work, Alfred Stieglitz invited Seeley to join the
Photo-Secession, with which he remained for six years, exhibiting and
publishing his photographs See less See less
