Nan Melville Photography & Video

Photography and film have pretty much been my life. Years of experience in so many photo fields equip me to handle most photographic needs.

1. As a specialist in performing arts world wide, I cover all kinds of dance, music, drama events - in both photography and video.

2. Also the associated aspects eg. portraits, headshots, costume & set design, movie production etc. 

3. All kinds of social and corporate events - from weddings to conferences. 

4. Sports events. eg. Video of National Park Service: All-Women Lifeguard Tournament for many years.

5. Family, children, pets.

6. Street photography. Food photography. Fashion... and others.

I enjoy interacting with clients from all walks of life and am comfortable communicating with people from children to CEOs.

I am unobtrusive.

Spontaneity is important and I am good at candid (unposed) photography. Also able to organize and pose large groups.

I enjoy working with people of different cultures.

I am always open to different/ new ways of working to bring out best in the subject.

As house photographer for a large theatre organization and freelancing for clients like Carnegie Hall, The Juilliard School, Lincoln Center, The New York Times etc. for many years - I have vast experience.

I have won several photographic awards including first prize in an International Travel Photographic Competition run by South African Airways, Nikon, and Nissan.

As a documentary filmmaker my film, NRITYAGRAM: For the Love of Dance, has been in 25 Film Festivals and won several awards and nominations.
