Monica Forss' photostream
|
Ever since I was a kid have I enjoyed taking pictures. Studied photography for some years in Sweden before moving to Italy, where I lived for several years. Many years later I continued my photography studies at Falmouth College of Arts in England (I ended up living in England for 8 years).
Spent some years travelling the world after finishing art school. I have just started taking pictures again after a 10 year break.
I admire photographers like: Henri Cartier-Bresson, Atget,
Brassai, Sebastiao Salgado, Dorothea Lange, Robert Frank, Walker Evans,Diane Arbus, Wayne Miller, Vivian Maier and Peter Bialobrzeski.
Just recently did I discover the amazing work of Albert Kahn. When it comes to travel photography it's work by Steve McCurry, Alex Webb and Joakim Eskildsen that inspire.

Anoop Negi says:
"Monica Forss has a formidable body of work in travel related photography from countries far and wide. I envy her delightful journeys to the most exotic lands on this earth.
It is a pleasure to see her work on Flickr. The expressive and eloquent stories that her pictures so elegantly convey. The hallmark of a thinking photographer who takes creative use of the opportunity available in a given setting.
Always a well defined subject, preferably in a singularity of a person or an object with the background of lovely locations and events. That is how her work unfolds for me. It illustrates and tells and gives us all a lesson on how to make proper compositions.
Monica Forss's work is a visual delight and I look forward to her story telling."26th October, 2011

"It's an honour for me to be the first one (maybe) to make my testimonial to Monica. I'm very happy to find out that one of her idol photographers is the same as mine, which is Steve McCurry the expert of travel journalist and portrait. I surely believe beside Steve McCurry, Karl Grobl would become another inspiration for your traveling photos. I hopefully look forward for your latest photos about your newest traveling series.
