Summary
mmelhuish.com
I am a Montreal-based photo and visual artist whose artistic practice combines technical and conceptual art, propelled by the fashion and beauty industry and my identity as a transwoman. With a BFA from Concordia University, majoring in Photography and minoring in Gender & Sexuality Studies, I am skilled in technical and studio photography and understand the importance of creating a concurrently respectful and productive work environment. My creative strengths lie in digital/studio/portrait photography and I am fluent in Adobe Photoshop. My experience in retail and service spaces trained me in building client-employee relationships, sales knowledge, and the importance of collaborative working.
