Delaney Drummond (b. 2001, Illinois) is a photographer who graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Photography from Columbia College Chicago in December 2022. During her time at Columbia, she also pursued minors in American Sign Language and Cultural Studies, which have broadened her creative outlook.
Delaney’s photographic work primarily focuses on self-portraiture as a means of exploring the complexities of interpersonal relationships and the challenges of communication. Her ongoing Miscommunications project delves into these themes, offering insight into human connection. She is also passionate about film photography, particularly experimenting with her 4x5 camera and her pink Barbie Polaroid.
Delaney has contributed to the Chicago Field Museum through collections digitization work, including photographing specimens from the museum’s prehistoric bird collection. A highlight of this work was documenting the Chicago Archaeopteryx specimen, an experience that reinforced her interest in the intersection of photography, archives, and natural history.
She is currently in her second semester of the Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at Dominican University, where she is also pursuing a certificate in Archives and Cultural Heritage Resources and Services. Through her graduate studies, Delaney is expanding her archival and collections-based skill set, with the goal supporting her interests in archival practices and the intersection of photography, museums, and cultural heritage.
