About This Workshop

Monique Campbell has been doing presentations since 2017 to a variety of groups including the Art Gallery of Hamilton and camera clubs across Canada. Her workshop, "Building Confidence to Shoot Street Photography" has been popular with novice and experienced street photographers. It is 75 minutes in length followed by a Q & A session. She demonstrates through sharing her images and back stories behind them how to look for photos candidly.  She will share her five page handout about street photography that covers the basics with participants. The purpose of this fun-oriented workshop is to encourage and inspire people to hit the streets to make their own images.

About Monique Campbell

Monique Campbell chooses to chase the light that shines through the cracks illuminating the world through her soulful images, which 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.She is a graduate of the Western Pacific Academy of Photography in Victoria, British Columbia.

Some highlights of her photographic career include:

• Monique's image of a firefighter reviving a boy in Sudbury was awarded the runner up Picture of the Year for Canadian Press and the Picture of the Year for Thomson Newspaper chain in 1994.
• In 2018, her image, “Perspective” of Mennonites touring the Welland Canal, was juried in by the Société Nationale des Beaux Arts and exhibited at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, France.
