about the photographer
Boston-based Kelly Conlin began his photographic journey in the 1970s, when he borrowed his father's 35mm Kodak Retinette, built a basement dark room and started a photography business while in high school. While he began his career as a journalist, he was pulled to the business side of magazine publishing and, despite the opportunity to travel the world, a briefcase replaced his camera. In recent years, as he rekindled his early passion for photography, he aspires to no longer see the world largely from a rushing taxi or a bustling hotel lobby, but to take the time to slow down, absorb, and reflect on where he is and who he encounters—listening and learning while capturing compelling images that, at their best, create emotional connections.back to gallery
