At MIAD today the junior level photo majors were offered an opportunity to have a one on one photo critique with Kelli Connell, a Chicago based photographer whose work has been shown nationally in many solo and group exhibitions. She also teaches at Columbia College in Chicago.

Our talk went really well, and she shared some really helpful insights with me. She pointed out my strengths as well as my weaknesses within my body of work and how to remedy those weaker photographs. She inspired a lot of new ideas and ways to re-shoot the weaker images to strengthen them. To anyone at Columbia: you're lucky to have her around.
