Monique Campbell – Notes from October 9, 2019
Date: October 9, 2019
Location: Town Hall Council Chambers, 7:00 – 9:00 pm
Attendance: 35
Guess Speaker: Monique Campbell – Street Photography
Monique is a street photographer from Hamilton, Ontario. Her photographs have been exhibited and published both nationally and internationally.
In her presentation, Monique took us on a tour of her recent work (B&W and colour), describing her experience for each photograph she shared. She also took us through the process of capturing the “moment” and provided plenty of tips and tricks to engage us in this photographic genre.
Among several takeaways, she suggested attending local events like Hamilton Super Crawl, Winona Peach Festival, etc. to practice shooting in the public arena.
A handout was made available to all who attended.
September Project of the month – Colour Your World
We had a total of 42 great photos submitted by 22 participants, and they surely coloured the room! Great work!
Those who submitted a photo for the Photo Project of the Month qualified for a draw. The prize was a $20.00 gift card from Henry’s. The lucky winner was Dixie Boyd. Congratulations, Dixie!
Check our website, under Gallery, to see all submitted photos.
