More about Melanie S....

What do you love about your job?

I love the variety of shooting different styles of photography. Working to make things and people look gritty and cool vs polished and beautiful - it's all great!! I love to manipulate the images in post to create very unique looks and allow colours to pop. It's a joy to look through a lens and really get caught up in the art.

What types of shoots have you done and how did you make them special?

Everything from shooting Wayne Newton in a recording studio at the Palms hotel in Las Vegas, to capturing Billy Ray Cyrus' Album Cover on his ranch in Nashville, to weddings in beautiful mountain settings to Mexican restaurant patio sessions...

I put my whole heart and soul into every job I do, and I hope that effort and passion comes through in my images.

Awards, honors, and recognitions received

Been nominated for the Top 40 Under 40 in Edmonton. Shot Billy Ray Cyrus' last two album covers, 5 years apart.
