He is best known for his 1970's project 'Once Upon a Time in Wales' which hid away in a box for 35 years and it's 2014 follow-up 'This Time in Wales' - both recording the close-knit Heolgerrig community where he grew up and still lives to this day.


Mae Robert Haines yn hanu o Heolgerrig ger Merthyr. Mae e  wedi ennill sawl gwobr fel gwneuthurwr ffilm a ffotograffydd.

Fe ddaeth i'r amlwg gyda 'Once Upon a Time in Wales'. Tynnodd y lluniau yn y 70au ac fe fu'r gwaith yn gorwedd mewn bocs am 34 mlynedd. Yr oedd dilyniant i'r gwaith yma 'This Time in Wales' cyfrol sy'n adrodd hanes cymuned Heolgerrig lle cafodd Robert ei fagu a'r lle mae e yn dal i fyw heddiw.
