Kelli LK Haines works primarily with 4x5 format photography, using a 1952 Crown Graflex with slow-speed black and white film. Straight photography can best describe her style. Preferring to do the majority of her work in-camera results in strong negatives, allowing for more creativity in the darkroom. While the main focus of her work is architectural landscape, she is also known for her intensive portraiture. Also a talented painter, Ms Haines has developed a unique style of painted photographs.

A lifelong student of photography, she also had as a mentor, noted photographer Todd Webb. She was awarded grants by the State of Maine to study at the Maine Photographic Workshops, has exhibited throughout New England and the Southeast and was the 2002 recipient of the Carina Residency on Monhegan Island, administered by MARC and the Farnsworth Museum in Rockland, ME.

Ms. Haines was formerly a teacher of photography at CPAC of UMA in Lewiston, ME. She is represented by the Lupine Gallery, Monhegan, ME.  and Galeyrie of Falmouth, ME.

Upcoming shows in 2006 include The Essex Center in Massachusetts with Copley Masters, Mark Hayden and Ralph Bush

MONHEGAN ISLAND: A JOURNEY is a culmination of the past three years spent on Monhegan, with the majority of work completed during June and July of 2002 when she completed her residency. The book is in to be published in 2006.  Also in progress is a book of portraits of Maine artists in their studios.
