Melissa Nordan

Hello! I am a self taught free lance photographer based in Raleigh, NC. A veterinarian by trade, I began exploring photography as an artistic way to document the journey and milestones of my family.  As my interest in photography evolved I began to explore different subject matter and experimenting with different techniques.  I enjoy playing with light, perspective, creative arrangements and new camera approaches to change the ordinary into the extraordinary.  Nature and science are common sources of inspiration and themes in my photography and I love creative portraiture.  


Thank you for taking the time look at my site and work.  Prints of my personal work are available.  If you have a photography project or need and think we might be a good fit please do not hesitate to reach out and contact me!
