Monica Stevenson is a commercial and fine art photographer who incorporates a rich cosmopolitan visual language into her imagery – drawn from her time living in Australia, Spain, and Puerto Rico before setting up shop in New York City.

Twenty years experience in the field, and a desire to remain artistically innovative in the swiftly changing industry, is apparent in Stevenson’s photographs of jewelry, cosmetics, luxury products, home goods, and splash/beverages. This approach extends to all media including her ventures in video. Her clients include Tiffany and Co., Cartier, Sotheby’s, Gillette, Dillard’s, Movado, Vogue, Crabtree and Evelyn, and Volkswagen.

Stevenson’s fine art photography focuses on a subject integral to her life: horses. Stevenson’s haunting black-and-white equine photographs gracefully capture horses in all of their disciplines, highlighting their relationship with their human companions and the environment. Her images are rich in feeling and texture, reflecting the enduring romance of equestrian tradition. This series of images – shot with a vintage Rolleiflex camera and printed in velvety black tone – evokes an era of the hand-crafted image. It is an art that reflects the historic bond between horse, man and nature.

Both Stevenson’s commercial and fine art images reflect her singular vision and creativity.  Her passionate and elegant photographs have already caused quite a stir in equine circles worldwide, with the series being exhibited in galleries such as the Mercedes Benz Gallery in NYC and the Katona Museum of Art, and as part of the permanent collection in the Focus Gallery, London. She spent several weeks in the summer of 2010 documenting the Arabian horse for H.H. Sheikh Mansoor bin Zayed Al Nahyan of Abu Dhabi.
