Shoot Brief —

For this project, we decided together that the images needed to be full of feeling and much much less traditional to get her brand across. She made it through a harrowing experience with breast cancer & really wanted to be able to connect and relate with her patients immediately through the imagery. Because that was the goal, I suggested really leaning into experimental grunge, grain & blurs to get as much feeling in as possible. We also played around with bright color transparencies to give it a little bad-assery.

This shoot was pretty damn unique. Because the client lives in Pennsylvania and I wasn’t able to travel to her at the time we decided on a virtual online session. We shot the photos through her iphone using an app, then I downloaded the images and shot them again using different photography techniques to give it the emotion we wanted.

“Melese took the time to meet with me beforehand and make sure that we were on the same page about the project. She definitely did her homework in between our meeting and the shoot.

She arrived at the session totally prepared with a clear plan in mind and gave directions that were easy to understand and follow. I felt really comfortable being myself and also trying new things, which made for great photos.

Her editing can add emotional depth and complexity to the photos, which makes her very versatile. I am sure I will be working with her again.”
