Melody's work primarily focuses on Gender and Gender identity-specifically the female form and the perception of women in society.
Her goal is to consistently create imagery that is aesthetically exceptional as well as conceptually compelling. Her subjects exude a raw, intimate, strong sense of self in both her personal and editorial work.
