Tokyo-based Erin Nøir focuses on black & white photography and is the founder of MONØ, an independent project catering to this niche community. Her work encompasses various subjects with a diaristic approach that evokes an intimate, mysterious disposition that is distinctively hers. She has participated in different photography programs and exhibitions in the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Cambodia, Italy, and Malaysia. Her latest brainchild was MONØMANIA, a photofest that featured 300 plus monochrome image-based artists across the world. www.erinn0ir.com • @erinn0ir
