KAMera Chicago Photography is owned / founded by

Kelly A. Manteck, architectural enthusiast and avid photographer. With a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography from Columbia College Chicago, Kelly enjoys photographing architecture as a form of self-expression.

Chicago is home to the skyscraper and architecture as innovative as that of the city of Chicago must not be overlooked, but instead cherished and preserved. Kelly's architectural photography is more than just a series of photographs; instead, they are a testament to the beauty of architecture and a plea for the preservation of this large-scale artwork. Within Kelly's photography, It is her goal to show viewers that architecture isn’t just a building that we inhabit, but instead a form of art and history – a masterpiece. She uses the landscape as her canvas to get others to see the architecture as the beauty that it truly is. Kelly's work takes the buildings and turns them into geometric wonders that transform the urban landscape into an incredible work of art. Architects aren’t just builders, but instead, artists, and their art is brilliant.

In 2012, Kelly's photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright's Robie House were published in WTTW Channel 11's National documentary titled '10 Buildings That Changed America'.
