Artist: Keliy Anderson-Staley

This series of tintype landscapes by Keliy Anderson-Staly is really great. I think that she has perhaps had more attention for her work in portraiture and the Off the Grid project but these images really inspire me. They aren't flashy or over the top in subject matter but I feel like they do exactly what great landscape work does, which is capture a feeling of a place not just what it looks like. This is something that I aspire to in my own landscape work, so it's nice to see someone else out there working in the same vein.
