About Melanie L. Wells - Photographer



My passion is capturing the essence and energy of a person, moment, place and object.

I love life and I love what I do :)

I am currently splitting my time between the USA and Costa Rica photographing and teaching photography workshops. Browse through my galleries to get a feel for what I love.
CONTACT me for project requests, documentary jobs, portrait sessions, travel and lifestyle, gallery and private exhibits and any other exciting project and idea you might have in mind. I will definitely consider projects that are challenging and fun and specially if they have the element of the ocean and sailing ;)
You may also email me for requests about stock images and use the search link to search the images from my archives. Most of these images are available to download via the 'add to cart button' found on each individual image page. If you do not find your desired usage option please contact me directly.
FINE ART PRINTS are also available for purchase.
Visit again soon. I am constantly updating the site and adding new images.

Many thanks!
