About Monica

Holis! I’m Monica Patten, a Peruvian-Irish photographer, producer, and creative director born, raised, and based in New York City. My upbringing has shaped my work to highlight community in all its variety. Whether a professional gathering, curated branding experience, cultural celebration, or individual portrait, my approach is centered on warmth, intention, and authenticity.

I work with organizations, event producers, creatives, and individuals who want more than documentation. I create imagery that tells the story of who you are and why it matters!
