Gratitude for the ones that make it all possible - my photographers

It's very easy to admire the beautiful photos we scroll through of our favorite bloggers/models/celebrities without ever stopping to think about the work of the photographers who captured these precious images. In this season of gratitude, I want to take a moment to applaud the ones that truly make it possible for me to do what I love! To each of you who has helped me grow The Monocle Muse - I appreciate you all. Thank you for your commitment to your craft, your belief in me and mine, and your tolerance for my nit-picking and impatience with edits -- I am beyond grateful for all your support.

MY MAINS:

ALI REZA MALIK (@yeahokayali) - amongst being one of the most brilliant photographers I have worked with, Ali wears many hats - the artist. the graphic designer. the videographer. the brand strategist. the avid reader. the geek. the conversationalist. the loyal friend. Check out his work here.

KIM GERONIMO (@thestreetsensei) - a firecracker in every sense of the word. This asian energizer bunny is not only a talented photographer and frequent globe trotter, but she possesses a vision that makes her unparalleled at her craft. Oh yea, and don't even try to touch her instastory game.

NEIL BRITTO (@itsneilb) - I recognized Neil's talent very early on in my blogging career. He was one of the first photographers I wanted to work with because his aesthetic completely mirrored my own. Although he never responded to my dorky, overly-professional first cold-email to him, we became fast friends as soon as we met, and he remains one of my favorite people to work with. Check out his work here.
