PHOTOGRAPHY
my work
my passion...
"We live only to discover beauty. All else is a form of waiting." -- Kahlil Gibran
"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's about finding something interesting in an ordinary place. I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." -- Elliott Erwitt

"Monique.....
A photographer with an eye for beauty as she can turn the 'ordinary' into 'special'. In her hands everyday items turn into magic photos with beautiful colours and become something else! Through her eyes you learn to look at things like a child....not as an adult.
I remember a picture of a car with autumn leaves scatterd all over it...
The reflection in the hood and the striking colours made me look again and again!
She also has a passion for people and in her pics I find a deeper meaning...Love, humour, passion and all other thinkable emotions between people. She can catch this in a single photograph!
So daily life becomes a paradise (which in a sense it is) and Monique adds her passion through all those images that express this feeling! Just look at her amazing colours and you know what I mean!
I am glad to share our beautiful world with her and hope all the ones that see her pics will feel the same!

"Monique is an inspiring photographer who can play magic with colours. It suits her own colourfulness. She can turn simple things, object and people into images you want to look at again, and again…
I’m proud of her, as a photographer and as a friend.

"Monique is a pro. She's in great control of the photographic toolbox and the basic skills required. Just like most pro's. But being a GOOD photographer requires something more. No matter how much routine and how long experience you have, that will never replace the need for passion, attitude, inspiration and love for your work. Monique's superb collection of images proves that she is that kind of a photograper. A GOOD one."
