About Me | The Girl Behind The Lens — Anna Melnikoff Photography

—

My journey with a camera began when I started taking photos of my sister’s dance team at high-school football games. From that point on my camera came with me everywhere. Now, I’m a recent graduate from Northern Michigan University (NMU), with a degree in photography and minor in public relations.

my fun facts:

I LOVE hiking + camping (the woods just give me so much joy)
I have a dog named bean
If I have a strawberry smoothie in my hand i’m a happy girl
I love watching a hockey or baseball game

Most importantly, I love creating and connecting with people. Telling stories through my work is what continues to inspire me every day. Whether I’m behind the camera at a game, on campus with a grad, or collaborating with a brand on a new idea, I’m driven by moments that feel real and human. I believe the best images come out of trust, curiosity, and genuine connections.
