Welcome!

I’m Mel, a photographer based in the seaside town of Ocean Grove on the beautiful Bellarine Peninsula, Wadawurrung Country.

Most of my photography centres around humble places, people and creative spaces. The lovely unhurried processes of following light to capture mood and atmosphere, of people in their studio or favourite place and telling their authentic stories through my lens, it's one of my greatest joys.

I’m forever seeking light and it’s magical ability to transform simplicity into unique moments of beauty. Documenting those fleetingly precious moments in between, the beautiful ordinary ones we don't often pay attention to. Those are my favourite moments of all, they're the ones that tell our story.

“Oh Mel, they’re wonderful. So so good. I’m absolutely delighted. You have such a talent and are a technical wizard to boot. Thank you so much!!!”
