Kelly's photographs are frequently overtly sexual in nature. He has been described as “Irreverent, uncouth and provocative”[1] and "Spontaneous, talkative and hyper-energetic”.[2] PHOTO magazine also said his images "play with humour and provocation" and that "His flashy style has conquered the world of fashion".[3] James Mullinger, Photo Editor of GQ Magazine described him as a "modern genius" who works "at an incredible pace".[4]

Kelly started his career in the Irish and UK newspaper industry where he worked as a photographer for Independent Newspapers and News International. His assignments included the conflicts in Rwanda and Afghanistan.[5]
