Don't make assumptions about Melissa's pictures. If you scratch the surface you see a family woman who takes warm and original portraits. Look deeper and there's a constant complex quest for new challenges.
In Melissa's work, even the pieces she sees as technical and experimental, I always feel as if she has found a way to engage with me, the viewer, emotionally.
Her pictures display her warmth, intelligence, and charm, so don't just scratch the surface dive in.
