“Looking for beauty in dark places of the world,” here is a photographer who brings the sensitivity of the eye to paint images that make the life of these people come alive in the most compelling way. Lovely juxtaposition and movement and colour, and the faces of these people look almost as if you could reach out and touch them.
I've seen a lot of photographers do this style and it usually looks like a gimmick. This looks natural and authentic. Like a true voice instead of a treatment. Fantastic!
This has the intensity of Lang’s Migrant Mother

Fascinating photo - reminds me of the dutch ‘golden age’ artists work around the 17th century
I had similar thoughts when saw this particular photo for the first time.
Very meaningful work
Indeed, Andrew. I have just discovered Monika’s work.
She has wonderful eye so thank you very much for introducing me to her work. I'm tempted to buy the book.
