On her own work, Monica Rich Kosann explains, "My photographs are black and white, which gives them a true fine art, timeless quality. When creatively displayed, they become a family's personal art form. They work anywhere within the home. Often, I suggest incorporating some , vintage, family photographs to mix with mine for a true historical perspective. It is a wonderful way to give context to these captured moments, to integrate the past with the present as a constant reminder of the joy of family."
Her photographs are presented as Exhibition quality, silver gelatin, custom fiber prints. Clients are also offered an extensive range of fine art materials and developing techniques that enhance the artistic quality of their portraiture.
All work is arranged by appointment. A special effort is made to approach each child and family in a setting that best captures their interests, lifestyle and family energy; and bring those elements together in a collection of fine art photography.
