Female Fotographer Flickr Feature: Heather Leann Monterosso


Tiny Box

Heather Leann Monterosso was born and raised in New York City. Growing up in the same house her mother was raised and inspired by her father's photographic work, Heather delved into her artistic inclinations at an early age. She more than made up for her lack of formal training by her own devices. Photographing incessantly, in secret for years until finally acknowledging her ability to make deep connections with herself and the world, Heather was able to begin sharing her passion with others.

The sentimental side of Heather's work is symbolically woven into both her personal and professional work as a portrait photographer.
She finds the Northeast especially inspiring, drawing upon the rich history and varying landscapes. Heather explains that creating portraits of women and families often brings her the most joy as her process is a deeply personal experience.  

In her emotive, personal work, Heather enjoys the productivity of transforming unpleasant experiences into intense, lingering moments to reflect upon. The risks involved in pursuing her photography are well worth the work involved. Please take a moment to experience some of Heather's personal work here, her professional work on Heather's website and her Flickr photostream.
