  • About Me
    • My name is Josh Monken and I am a commercial, editorial and personal photographer based in St. Louis, Missouri. I am available for short and long term assignment, photographic projects and freelance photography work.
    • While I am trained in professional lighting and studio art, I emphasize a documentary approach to photography. I pride myself in letting moments happen and capturing them as they do, as well as making my subjects feel comfortable and at ease with me. I try not to interfere in situations any more than is necessary.
    • Please email josh@monkfoto.com or call 314.853.9228 for a rate quote. Rates depend heavily on availability, type of work, audience and, of course, budget.
