MELANIE JENKINS
Melanie Jenkins is a photographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. She established Flash Studios in January 2000, marking the beginning of a distinguished career in photography. Specializing in advertising and editorial photography, Melanie has a keen eye for detail and a passion for creating meticulously crafted images. Her work spans various genres, including food, interiors, products, fashion, and jewellery.
Melanie's approach to photography is deeply influenced by her belief in creating rather than merely capturing images. She often uses medium and large format digital cameras to achieve high levels of detail and depth in her work. This technical expertise is complemented by her ability to craft and light scenes that tell compelling stories.
In addition to her commercial work, Melanie has gained recognition as a fine art photographer exhibiting in NZ and Europe. Her personal projects frequently feature her children, Bella and Levi, who serve as her muses and sources of inspiration. One notable project involves a collaboration with her daughter Bella to raise awareness about plastic pollution in the oceans.
Melanie's dedication to her craft and her ability to adapt creatively have solidified her reputation as a leading figure in the New Zealand photography scene.
