Megan Lofting is a documentary and event photographer born and raised in North Vancouver, Canada. Whether documenting events or long-term personal projects, her work is rooted in observation, empathy, and an interest in the relationships between people, place, and experience.
Her documentary practice is deeply personal, shaped by the lived experiences of those closest to her. In 2023, while enrolled in the Documentary Practice and Visual Storytelling Online program at the International Center of Photography, she began Dear D. Although the project was not originally intended to include her own story, the experience she and her partner were navigating inspired her to examine the realities of perinatal loss through a deeply personal and visual lens.
Megan is drawn to documenting stories that are often unseen or misunderstood—experiences that can be difficult for those outside them to fully grasp. She combines photography with text to create emotionally resonant narratives.
Her work explores themes of gender, social, and environmental issues, with a focus on the intersection of personal experience and broader societal conversations.
Megan is currently seeking opportunities to share Dear D while developing a new personal documentary project. She now lives and works in Edmonton, Canada.
