Keliy Anderson-Staley, born in 1977, grew up in the woods of northern Maine. She earned a BA from Hampshire College, in Amherst, MA, and an MFA from Hunter College, in New York City. She was a 2008 New York Foundation for the Arts Photography Fellow.

She has been working on two projects for a few years—a series of wet plate collodion portraits examining the history of portraiture and the representation of ethnicity, called “-Americans,” and “Off the Grid,” a series about families living in owner-built cabins in Maine without electricity or running water.

Images from Off the Grid were published in Camerawork Magazine, and the project was featured by Daylight Magazine as a video podcast. Her collodion portraits have been published in New York Magazine, RiseUp and Moment.

Her work has been exhibited at the Bronx Museum of the Arts, the California Museum of Photography, Rockland County Center for the Arts, Jenkins Johnson Gallery in NYC and San Francisco, and Susan Maasch Fine Art, Portland, Maine.

She has taught the wet plate collodion process at The Center for Alternative Photography in NYC, at Hampshire College and Bowdoin College, and at the Bakery Photo Collective in Maine. She currently lives and works in Queens, NY.
