Born and raised in Santa Monica, Ca. Melody Melamed received her BFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008, with a concentration in Design|Media Arts, followed by her MFA in Photography, Video and Related Media in 2013, at the School of Visual Arts, New York City.
As a photographer, Melamed has dedicated her time to exploring the perception of gender identity, sexuality, the duality of masculinity vs. femininity, and what the body cannot tell about the expression of gender and gender identity.
Melamed’s most current work touches on gender euphoria. 
Photographing queer bodies as well as the nature surrounding us, Melamed uses diptychs as well as portraiture to mimic the relationship between the body, skin, human shape and the earth we are surrounded by.
