La Marta Wildlife Refuge, Costa Rica - 2023
Hello/Hola.
I’m Meghan - Documentary Photographer - Bilingual English/Spanish
I am fascinated by the intersection of photographs and memory. I aim to tell as true a story as possible with my images – to document what I witness with honesty and integrity, even while acknowledging that the story I end up telling is only my interpretation. I want to give visual voice to the stories of the people I meet and the places I visit, as well my own. I want to help people see the incredible beauty that I see in their everyday lives. I want to help them remember the grand occasions and the important milestones, as well as the challenges they face together as families and communities, and the quieter moments – the ones that, when gathered together, have more significance than we might realize.
I am a collector of moments, of details, of expressions and gestures. And also of rocks, birds, bones, books, feathers, postcards, journals, horseshoes, anecdotes, and art. I am interested in how objects and environment help shape and define us. I am inspired by the natural world, our shared human experience, and by the expressions of love and courage I see in the everyday lives of the people I have the privilege of knowing. I want to share those moments and stories with others so that they, too, can see all that we have in common.
“Life is not the one a person lived, but the one they remember, and how they remember it in order to tell the tale.” – Gabriel García Márquez
