November 2, 2021 Meeting - Monique Campbell
Monique Campbell will present: "Building Confidence to Shoot Street Images".
Here's a bit more about her: 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 to others to 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.
As a result of a harsh childhood, a mother who was affected by World War 2 in Belgium and experiences chasing fire trucks and ambulances as a photojournalist, she developed an extraordinary sensitivity to her surroundings, situations and emotions of others.
In a flash of perception she identifies a moment and clicks the shutter already knowing the end result will demonstrate her empathy and intimacy.
Much of her work is produced in black and white inspired by her mentor, the late photojournalist, Ted Grant who said, “When you photograph people in colour, you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in black and white, you photograph their soul."
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, She is keen to talk about her experience while encouraging others to build their confidence to shoot street photos.
