Photographer

It's possible to photograph what isn't there; 
it's just damned difficult"
W. Gibson, The Gernsback Continuum




 Melusina has done more than twenty personal exhibits and has taken part in several collective ones; she has won some awards at inworld photo contests and her Flickr got more than 1,000,00000 views.
She has been trainer at Visionaire Institute, for courses about landscape and minimalist photography.

Melusina photographs are mostly landscapes and abstract shapes, minimalist style. She loves b/w, urban landscapes, architectural structures and factories. As a creator of Art Deco furniture, she loves also vintage photography, in the same style as above.
