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.
In addition to her artistic endeavors, Delaney continues her work with the Chicago Field Museum, where she has contributed to the digitization of the museum’s prehistoric bird collection. One of her most notable projects during her internship was documenting the Chicago Archaeopteryx specimen, combining her passion for photography with her interest in natural history.
This fall, Delaney will begin pursuing her Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) at Dominican University, where she will also earn a certificate in Archives and Cultural Heritage Resources and Services. This program will deepen her understanding of archival practices, enhancing her ability to bridge the gap between photography and museum sciences.
