About

Candace Cochrane became interested in photography when she first went to Newfoundland in 1967 to work in a children’s recreation program on the island’s Northern Peninsula. The landscape and its people inspired her to develop her photography skills in order to document her experience of life in a small fishing village.

Since then, she has divided her time between working as a photojournalist, a teacher of photography, and a cultural heritage program director for the Quebec Labrador Foundation.

Her photographs have appeared in numerous magazines and books in the US and Canada. Some of the photographs from Newfoundland and Labrador are collected in the National and Provincial Archives of Canada.

Candace divides her time between her homes in Newfoundland and Massachusetts.
