In 2004 Melynda von Wayward picked
up a camera for the first time and decided to reinvent herself as a
photographer in order to capture and document the contemporary Melbourne punk
scene.
She soon realised that she
not only loved taking photos of this colourful and vibrant subculture, but that
she also enjoyed taking photos of other interesting people as well, culminating
in the creation of a photographic business called 'Melynda Photographer
‘Capturing the Essence of You’.
Melynda's specialty is creative portrait shots for individuals, couples and families, headshots and
folio shots for actors and models, promotional shots for bands, performance
groups, and businesses, and a niche market in alternative people (punks, people
with tattoos and piercings).
Melynda's motto, ‘Capturing
the Essence of You’, means to capture the essence of who each subject is -
their inner soul shall we say. To achieve this, Melynda has photographed
each subject in their home or location of their choice. By doing so, the
subjects are able to feel comfortable in their own surroundings, therefore
allowing the essence of who they are to truly shine through.
