ARTIST. PHOTOGRAPHER. WRITER.
My name is Kelli Klymenko — I’m an artist, photographer, writer, and lifelong observer of the world. I live in Sedona, Arizona. For more than three decades, my work has moved between art, photography, nature, technology, and the ideas that shape how we understand one another.
This site brings those threads together.
PHOTOGRAPHY
For more than three decades, photography has been one of the ways I explore the world — from the landscapes and wildlife of the Southwest to the small, unexpected moments that are easy to miss.

Your iPhone is one of the most powerful creative tools you’ll ever own—not because it can invent reality, but because it can help you see it.
In this inspiring one-day workshop, I’ll show you how to move beyond snapshots and create photographs with intention. You’ll learn the principles of composition, light, storytelling, editing, and creative techniques that transform everyday moments into compelling images—all using the camera already in your pocket.
