About the Photographer:
Madigan Jane Cotterill is a Toronto based photographer and wannabe world explorer. As a photographer, Madigan hopes to connect with the viewer and create an emotional relationship between the audience and her work. Driven by the power of storytelling and the universal language of photography, Madigan is able to capture a moment in time through a unique perspective and engage the viewer to look deeper into the meaning of an image.
The approach Madigan takes to photography is one that strives to first establish an emotive response; remaining with her audience and resulting with the viewer wanting to take action and make a change. When it comes to photography, Madigan is always striving to take the perfect shot. Her goal is to use the power of photography to ignite change and connect individuals through imagery and the emotive responses her photography creates.
