Melchizedek Maquiso

I'm currently taking up photojournalism at Loyalist College in Belleville - Canada’s only dedicated multi-year Photojour­nalism program. My photos have been published/featured in Reuters, Wall Street Journal, Yahoo!, National Post, Catholic Register, Belleville Intelligencer and school-based qnetnews.ca. My style is documentary based photography - less posed, more candid. Not to sound too cliche... but photojournalism is about capturing the right moment. I go beyond the usual "safe shots" because I know that in every frame, there is something beyond the ordinary waiting to be captured. My interest in visual image storytelling started since I started reading newspapers and magazines when I was a kid as my parents were avid subscribers of magazines. I started taking photos using film shortly after that. A few years later, here I am, pursuing a career in visual storytelling.
