From then on, Keighley's work was presented in many solo and group exhibitions. In 1924, he became an honorary member of the RPS.

For fifty years, Keighley would each year produce five to six pictures of the highest artistic quality - an astonishing achievement at the time. In the summer of 1943, the RPS exhibited a large-scale retrospective of

At the beginning of his career, Keighley used a full-plate camera. Keighley had an assistant to help him with his equipment. His camera had a "Goerz-Celor" anastigmatic lens with a lens hood and a yellow filter. The focus was fixed at 10 meters.

His first prints were made using albumen paper. He would go on to experiment with different processes, using platinum, oil, bromine oil and gum bichromate. Eventually, Keighley would come to mainly use of charcoal for his prints.
