Mel VDL Photography's photostream

I love honesty
realism
minimalism
abstract
light
color
sharp things and blurry things
fragments
and lists. :D
I enjoy real comments, I abhor when people comment with code for a group and don't actually comment with it.. super lame. ;)
And I just.. am me. Sometimes lovely, sometimes crazy, sometimes happy, sometimes sad... Life flits its way across my lens, just as it crosses the heart on my sleeve.
I shoot only in manual, which includes manual focus. The only exception is with the ceremony part of a wedding. :) I like to get what I want in my camera, before I get to editing... I also prefer natural light.. Flash and I are not good friends. :p
I hope you enjoy browsing through my photos!

[ZicoCarioca] says:
"Respect and Love. This is a photostream about respect for reality and love for those details we'd never discover on our own. There's a heart awaken to the brilliance while her mind defines every rule in order to describe her inner universe. Mel's work is full of passion for pure shapes and the present yet hidden chaos that molds beauty as we're used to be aware of it though uprooted from the first atom.
I have the honour to consider Mel a very beautiful and creative friend and I deeply hope being lucky enough to see the way her work and life evolve in front of me."8th May, 2010
