About

My name is Melissa Lee, but you may call me Melly.

I am a Huntington Beach native and a recent graduate from the University of California, Irvine.  Now that I have my Bachelors of Arts and graduated with honors I am free to bounce between Orange County and Los Angeles to make photographs.  I love traveling and meeting new personalities, this combination along with my background in photojournalism helps define my style in image making.  In each image my goal is capture the essence of my subject or capture them in an action that defines their identities.  In other words I have a cinematic aesthetic (what can I say movies are awesome and a great inspiration!)
