Today, she primarily focuses on photographing plants, butterflies, and abstract nature. She captures seemingly inconspicuous subjects — a single flower, the delicate structures of ice or water, or a butterfly in the morning light — with particular sensitivity. Pastel colors, soft light, and deliberate reduction give her work an almost painterly quality. Some of her images seem to blur the line between photography and painting.

However, she is not interested in pure documentation. Her photographs are personal interpretations that show her view of the world. She wants to show and let people feel. Her pictures reveal moods, fleeting moments, and quiet emotions, preserving moments that would otherwise be long gone.

She and her partner, photographer Mark James Ford, travel throughout Germany and Europe year-round. They inspire each other, plan projects, and approach subjects from different yet complementary perspectives. In addition to nature photography, Ines now devotes herself to astrophotography, expanding her view from the smallest details to unimaginable cosmic dimensions. Color, structure, and emotional impact remain central elements of her work here, too.

Ines Mondon-Ford is an author who gives workshops and lectures. She also volunteers for the organization Dein Sternenkind (Your Star Child). She worked as a reference photographer for SIGMA Germany for many years. Her work has been exhibited and published internationally.
