Monique Campbell chooses to chase the light that shines through the cracks illuminating the world through her soulful images she captures mindfully. Her personal story lies within each image but it is not hers alone allowing others identify with their own narratives. In part it is healing, a means of compensation for the shadows in her mind as she chases the light. Finding interest by observing the mundane, the ordinary and the moments most people take for granted she excels in producing captivating photographs that linger in the minds of viewers. 

In a flash of perception she identifies a moment and clicks the shutter already knowing the end result will demonstrate her empathy and intimacy.

A graduate of the Western Pacific Academy of Photography, Monique Campbell’s photojournalism has been recognized by the Canadian Press runner up Photo of the Year, Thomson Newspaper chain Photo of the Year and the Ted Grant Photojournalism Award for Excellence. 

The Hamilton Street Photographer will be sharing images of her work and talking about her process. Monique’s photographs have been exhibited, published and collected both locally and internationally. In 2018, the Societe des Beaux Arts chose her photograph to be exhibited at the Carrousel du Louvre.

Her talk; “Building Confidence to Shoot Street” will include over 65 photos including a number of before and after photos showing her editing.
