Melissa J Collins

A full-time professional photographer by trade, it’s hard to find me without some sort of camera in-hand. While inspiration strikes me in all sorts of ways, TRAVELING brings out the nerdy tourist in me. Being in a different environment, meeting different kinds of people, smelling different smells, seeing different light, all of it INSPIRES the hell out of me.

North Branch MN based, you can find me either in my photography studio or traveling different places, home or abroad, trying to soak it all in and ALWAYS with my camera.

What Inspires My Photography

My photography is deeply inspired by the vibrant hues of nature and the raw emotions of human connections. I find beauty in the everyday moments, capturing the essence of life through my lens. Influences from classic art and modern design also shape my work, allowing me to create images that resonate with authenticity and emotion. Each photograph is a story waiting to be told, and I strive to bring that narrative to life with every click of the shutter.
