On this episode of The Life of Phys Podcast, I sit down with Monique Campbell, a photographer whose work is defined by her extraordinary sensitivity to both the world around her and the emotions of others.
Monique’s perspective was shaped by her mother’s experience of World War II in Belgium, a difficult childhood, and her time working as a photojournalist chasing fire trucks and ambulances. These experiences sharpened her ability to notice not just what’s in front of the lens, but the subtle light that shines through the cracks, both literally and figuratively, illuminating deeper truths about humanity.
Her photography captures the delicate balance of resilience and vulnerability, showing us the beauty in places and people often shaped by hardship. Monique’s work is as much about storytelling as it is about image-making, offering an intimate look at the human condition.
In this episode, Monique and I discuss:
Her journey from a challenging childhood to a career in photojournalism
How her background shaped her sensitivity and empathy as a photographer
The meaning behind “light through the cracks” in her work
Why resilience, struggle, and beauty coexist in the stories she tells
Her philosophy on photography as a tool for connection and truth
This is a moving conversation with Monique Campbell, reminding us of the importance of observing not just the light, but the human stories it reveals.
