George Henry Seeley (1880-1955) was an American photographer primarily associated with the pictorialist movement.
Seeley was born in Stockbridge in Massachusetts. He attended the Massachusetts Normal Art School, 1897-1899, where he studied painting. He studied under Joseph DeCamp, who encouraged his interest in natural light, and became interested in photography after meeting F. Holland Day. He returned to Stockbridge in 1902, where he worked in both painting and photography. His photographs were displayed in New York City’s First American Photographic Salon (1904), where Alfred Stieglitz saw them. Stieglitz invited Seeley into the Photo Secession from 1906 through 1910.
Seeley left Stieglitz’s group and continued to create in pictorialist style, despite the fact that his work was not being praised by critics. This, along with wartime shortages of raw materials for photography, severely damaged Seeley’s photographic career. While Seeley continued exhibiting his photographs until the 1930s, little of what was shown was new material. Later in life, Seeley returned to painting, and also served as a newspaper correspondent for a Stockbridge publication. In 1955, he died in that city.
