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.
FINE ART PRINTS are also available for purchase.
Visit again soon. I am constantly updating the site and adding new images.

Many thanks!
