tHE ONE BEHIND THE LENSES

 

Hi! I'm Mel. I am photographer from Brazil based in Paris, France. With over a decade behind the lens, and a countless number of photos taken, I created Poetria to share my love and art with everyone that might feel connected with it.  For me, photography means connection — with one another, with nature, and with parts of yourself. I seek to create a fun and memorable session for each person.

KAROL

THE IDYLLIC POEM

 

A woman with long red hair is standing by a calm body of water, wearing a floral dress. In the background, there is a waterfall.

 

"I had a fantastic experience being photographed by Mel, who, besides being an incredible photographer, is an extremely kind and lovely person. My experience started wonderfully even before the photoshoot itself, when Mel introduced me to a stunning place that looked like it had come straight out of a dream.

When it was time to take the photos, I was genuinely happy and amazed by the beauty of everything I was seeing, and I think that shines through in Mel’s photos. Throughout the process, she guided me and gave me directions on how to pose, while always making me feel completely comfortable and free to express myself.

Mel has a unique poetic vision that goes far beyond the click of a camera. She makes you feel as if you are inside a painting, inside a poem being written, and helps you build a story.

Being photographed by someone so special and talented was an incredible experience that made my trip even more magical, and one I will carry in my heart as something truly wonderful that I would love to experience again someday. "
