I have an innate love of stories. And this is the reason what drew me to photography. I believe storytelling matters—it heals and teaches; it inspires and resolves; it enchants us as well as enlightens us. Since then, this has been a core pillar of my career as a photographer.
The aim of these projects is to reveal universal truths about humanity by sharing real stories of human struggles and their eventual triumph. Through these meaningful stories we see how very different people share the same life experiences and how human nature can transcend culture.

As a photographer, Melvin has that rare ability to create pictures that tell a story. That draw you in, unexpectedly, and leave you wanting more.

Melvin’s photographs tell the stories that you may have missed along the way, when you find yourself lost in the white noise of everyday.
