Dr. Monique Gamble

Dr. Monique Alicia Gamble is a freelance photographer and an Adjunct Political Science Professor at the University of District of Columbia. She is a graduate of Tuskegee University and received her PhD at Howard University.

Her interest in photography started early. She honed her photography skills by following a professional photographer to learn more about shooting techniques to capture the perfect lighting, image and subject. Her work stems from her interest in the inner city challenged with gentrification, political unrest and simple city life. Monique is also a noted wedding and events photographer in Metro DC.
