MELANIE HILL

Greetings my name is Melanie Hill aka Kaleidoscope Lady. I'm a Brooklyn breed photographer and photo artist. My childhood was always filled with art, arts and crafts, and a Polaroid camera. During family events and the holidays, there was always a camera and Kodak film around. I never set out to become a photographer, but around eight years ago I purchased a Fujifilm point n shoot from HSN. It came with an awesome zoom lens, and easy to control settings for easy navigation. I set out to see the world in ways I had never seen before. I shot 350 frames capturing things I had previously remembered and things newly discovered. Being self taught, I quickly realized that the camera had become a therapeutic piece of equipment, enhancing my thirst to explore more of the city. I've since invested in a professional camera and equipment. Engaging with the public through my viewfinder, opens my eyes and mind to a refreshing point of view about human behaviors, which is why Street Photography is my genre of choice. My current list of accomplishments are as follows: “Photoville”/2022 presented by Prospect Park Alliance curated by “Jamel Shabazz” “Brooklyn Tea”/2022-2023 solo PhotoArt exhibition, “Porta Bella Menwear”/2017-2018 Freelance Photographer for fashion show, “Ck Chu Tai Chi Center”/2015 Freelance Photographer.
