Monmouth County is known for its beaches. When most people think of tourism in Monmouth County, that is the first thing that they think of. While our beaches are magnificent, there is so much more that Monmouth County has to offer--and that is what these photos aim to show.

There are so many small pieces of Monmouth County that are beautiful, from the local farms to the rivers and bays throughout the county, there is so much hidden beauty to be found. The photos were to be used (as seasonally appropriate) on the Monmouth County Tourism website, tourism.visitmonmouth.com.
The target audience is residents and any potential visitors to Monmouth County, generally between the ages of 25 to 75.
These photos were used on the Tourism website, so it was hard to measure their success. However, there was a lot of verbal praise from municipalities, visitors and County employees about the beauty of the photos.
The photographer who took these photos has a knack for finding beauty in everything he sees. He has the capability to take an object and truly make it shine. He was tasked to take pictures that were not the typical beach shot and he delivered more than we could have ever expected.
Mike Colarusso is an exceptional photographer who can find beauty in everything he sees and everyone he meets. He was tasked to take tourism pictures that were not the typical beach shot and he delivered more than we could have ever expected.
