Statement

Born and raised in South Wales, UK, Melissa spent her youth exploring ways of expressionism through different media forms, art, music and photography. After studying four years in photographic practice, Melissa now specializes in fashion-based photography, experimenting with character building, with an aim to create beautiful imagery with an edge, drawing the viewer into a coherent story.

Melissa’s work has been exhibited at several group exhibitions in South Wales, and is currently working on a body of work, “Identity” which will be exhibited June 2010, in Cardiff (for more information visit originffoto.blogspot.com). Her work had been featured in worldwide-published magazines and vast online e-zines, and is often commissioned by highly established designers and businesses throughout the UK.
