Monique Campbell has been a photographer for 35 plus years after graduating from the Western Pacific Academy of Photography in Victoria, British Columbia in 1992. Her career as a photojournalist and wedding photographer has given her a foundation in capturing candid and camera aware images. She started to do street photography after she discovered the work of master Vivian Maier. Since 2016, Monique has photographed in Hamilton where she lives, nationally, and internationally. Most of her images capture ordinary moments of everyday life. She thrills at photographing a wide spectrum of people that she encounters on the streets especially women. Her award-winning work has been exhibited, collected and published locally and around the world. Travelling in the Street Monique Campbell has been a professional photographer for over 35 years. Two of her passions are making humanist street images and traveling within Canada and abroad. In her new presentation, she discusses how to plan a photographic trip and make photographic memories based on her experiences photographing in London, England, Portugal, Cuba, Italy, and the wonders of the world like Niagara Falls, Ontario. One of the highlights will be her images and stories from her visit to Ireland in 2026 as she followed in the footsteps of Dorthea Lange. The master photographer photographed the locals in Ennis, County Clare, in 1954. This motivated Monique to connect with the community and make new images. Members will be inspired to include people in their photography on their next vacation.   Website: www.momentsbymonique.com Instagram: moments_by_monique
