In Dhaka, tracks and glances cross, quietly binding strangers in a shared pause between departures.

Kelly Conlin discovered photography as a teenager, borrowing his father’s Kodak Retinette and building a basement darkroom to launch a small photography business. He began his professional life as a journalist before transitioning to the business side of magazine publishing, eventually serving as CEO of a global media company. After stepping back from full-time work, he has returned to his first passion—-photography-—now focusing on documentary and street work that explores human connection, culture, and everyday drama.
