MODELING


I have a passion for modeling. I have over a decade worth of experience both in front and behind the lens. I believe that being on both ends of the camera gives me a better understanding of the craft and of what is to be expected from the model and/or the photographer. I am willing to travel, depending on the circumstances.


Take a look at my portfolio below:

Testimonial I


"I've worked with Melissa on several occasions and she delivered every single time. She comes prepared, she responds well to direction although I find I barely have to give her any. She is one of the best models I've had the opportunity to work with because she is professional, prompt, and passionate. She is a true artist who's brought all my visions to life. I can't wait to work with her again in the future!"


- Lucia Lauria, owner of Ciafoto, Hudson Valley, NY


Testimonial II


"Melissa is always such a pleasure to work with. Very easy to collaborate, and she's full of creative ideas, making the process that much more fun. She puts her entire heart into whatever project is at hand, and therefore I can rely on her time and time again to execute any look or theme. She's energetic, bold and humble."


- Caroline Merejo, Makeup Artist, NYC

Testimonial III


"When she first began posing for assignments many years ago, she was a bit awkward but she was committed to becoming a model & studied & learned from the professional models how to pose. Eventually she came to love the camera as the camera loves her. Before long, working with Melissa became a joy, she contributed to the shoot without the need for direction. She brought something to every project we worked on. She is an asset to all who chose to work with her. I can’t recommend her enough. You will not be sorry if you hire her for your next project."


- Bob Buchanan, Photographer/Author, NY


Testimonial IV


"Melissa is awesome to work with! She's always up for anything to get that perfect shot. She's a natural at striking the perfect poses. Plus, she's patient, positive, and totally down to try new things. Working with her is a breeze!"

- Maria I, Graphic Designer/Photographer, NY
