He first began exhibiting his work in the late 1890s and in 1900 took part in F. Holland Day's New School of American Photography, a major exhibition of American pictorial photography presented at the Royal Photographic Society in London (which then traveled to Paris in 1901). Over the years he showed his work in numerous photographic salons in Cleveland, Chicago, Denver, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, New York, and London. Semon was a member of the Cleveland Camera Club and participated in the First Annual Salon sponsored by the club at Fenton & Stair's Art Gallery in 1903. The following year he took part in the club's First Annual Members' Exhibition. In the August 1912 issue of Photo-Era, Semon published a short article, "Unconventional Lighting of Subjects," illustrated with examples of three portraits he had made using the characteristic soft-focus style of the pictorialists. From 1919-47 he was also a frequent exhibitor in the May Show, the Cleveland Museum of Art's regional juried exhibition, winning a number of prizes.
