New Photos by
Monique L. Roberts
 
            Monique L. Roberts is a self-taught photographer born and raised in Dallas, Texas.  As a pedestrian in a car-centric city, she finds her inspiration from what others may view as the mundane to-and-fro of everyday life.  Roberts studied film at the University of Texas and pays the bills as a personal stylist. Being immersed in the fashion and retail industry for over 10 years has cultivated her creative eye, transcribing her photography with basic principles of fashion such as color, movement, and classic lines. When not instructing others on how to dress, Roberts has shot for websites and numerous events in and around Dallas.
There Are No Straight Lines in Nature explores the beauty of our modern culture and urban living through vibrant, simplistic imagery. Uncluttered compositions, stark displays of color, and humble subjects imbue a mystery and weight to unmemorable objects or destinations whose profundity is often overlooked.
More of her work can be viewed on her blog, a moderate being. http://www.amoderatebeing.net/
