She is self-taught, but followed workshops from Yamandu Roos (2009), Eddy van Wessel (2009) and FOAM (2009). Melissa photographs most of the time with analogue
cameras because she likes the effect and rawness of film. There is something magical about the process of analogue pictures and it is always a surprise when the film is developed. She also makes photographs
with digital cameras, but she just prefers
analogue better!
