Hi There...
My name's Mel, and I'm a self-confessed Landscape-a-holic. (photographically speaking... ahem)
My photography never really became such a serious hobby until January 2007, when i was given a second hand D50, this changed my perspective and I immediately fell in love with the freedom it offered me. Eventually I began to grow weary of its limitations, choosing to sell my D50 and upgraded to a D200, now currently shooting with the beautiful D700. As a backup, I shoot with a Nikon D300s, and have also had some close experience with the entry-level D3000.
I have a keen eye for anything artistic, having graduated from a Bachelor of Creative Industries (vis arts). I'll take a picture of anything if it interests me, anything from Landscape, People, Urban Environments, Nature - anything I guess.
These days I can be found out and about around Brisbane/ Queensland or in a club, both with camera.
I've been involved in curating a number of exhibitions in Brisbane for various scenes, and I'm definitely enjoying putting together a show for the general public.
It's rare to find me without my camera on a weekend, I love pursuing the unknown moments out there, you never know where they will arise, and I always like to be ready.
I'm an admin for the group SEQ Meetup and always love to see new qld'ers out on meets... so if you're from the region and have stopped by, please check us out, or join!

Matthew Stewart | Photographer says:
"Melanie has a strange eye for photography. Now that's not bad at all. Rather than take the traditionalist path or a surreal or abstract view, she shoots landscapes a little bit skewed. Whilst I used to look at her shots with my critical eye and think that's not bright enough or sharp enough (and still do) but I soon realized that's just the vision - a darker mysterious delicious raw take of landscape photography that reaches out to my compositionally correct view and stirs my mind, "that works somehow, I don't know how but it does". This is the signature of a true artist. "
