Monica Jane Frisell is a photographer living and working in New York City. Frisell works predominantly in analog film photography. Putting emphasis on darkroom practice, Frisell has run Evergreen photography facilities in Olympia, Washington for two years. Over the last few years, Frisell has been gathering stories and portraits in an attempt to meld her art practice with elements of documentary.

During her ongoing project “Looking Forward: Portraits from an RV” she continues this practice in order to present a contemporary portrait of America.
