2026 Chico Attendees Series

Jordan Monloire speaks about Sweet Tarts and her reasons for coming to the Chico Review

Jordan Monloire is a photographer + book maker living in the pnw, usa.

Presently doing time in the dark room and shooting only a fraction of sites worth seeing. She predominantly focuses on gonzo style black and white, post-documentative portraiture. The core of her practice is her "fruits basket"—the act of capturing the realities of her experience and maintaining the ability to collect and share. You’ll find most of her work in silver gelatin fibre prints, with periodic appearances inlaid in installations and handmade zines

When I was 19 a man stopped me on a city bus in Seattle, he wound up gifting me my first analog camera. This exchange is what introduced me to making pictures.

I currently live in Seattle Washington, working on my forthcoming book titled Sweet Tarts.
