About Madison

Madison is a photographer in Chicago currently enrolled at Columbia College as a senior pursuing her BA in photography with a minor in marketing. She's known for the vivid color and detail throughout her images and she has a strong passion for street and travel photography. She finds inspiration in the energy of urban environments and the tranquility of natural landscapes. While many photographers begin honing their craft at a young age, Madison didn't discover her love for photography until her senior year of high school. During that time she discovered the beauty of film photography. Since then, she has dedicated herself to improving her skills and capturing the world around her through her lens. Through her images, she wants to illustrate the essence of the people and places she encounters. When she’s not behind the camera, she spends time second hand shopping, listening to live music, and trying new restaurants and coffee shops (but she usually finds a way to get her camera out while doing these things too)! She is also currently working on a documentary project about her hometown and family in Southern Illinois (which you can see in the “Work” section on this website under “A Love Letter to Belleville”).
