MELANIE JASMIN

Runner-up, Portrait

Portrait photographer Melanie Jasmin is based in the Yarra Valley, Victoria. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Classic Mythology and Archaeology at Monash University. Self-taught, she picked up a digital camera with the arrival of her children in 2014. Unsatisfied with candid snapshots, she pushed herself to develop her style and artistic vision, learning about colour theory, light shaping, and post process editing techniques through research and by reaching out to others within the photographic community. With an eclectic and broad set of influences from Rococo and Neoclassical painters to Greek mythology and modern pop art colours to vintage children's picture books, Jasmin creates imagery that elegantly combines both historical and modern influence in her beguiling portraits. Her images transport her, and her viewers, to a nostalgic and idealised time, but they still maintain a distinctly contemporary quality.
