An amateur photographer, born at St Cyrus, Kincardineshire, in 1827; he earned his M.D. degree in 1848, and took up photography in 1853. He first used the calotype and waxed-paper processes of W.H. Fox Talbot and Gustave Le Gray. Though the wet collodion glass negative process was developed and well established by 1853, Keith preferred the paper negative process for its advantages in landscape work. Notes by C. S. Minto.
