Melissa Brookmire – Intimate Landscapes 

Born and raised in Rochester, New York, my father got me interested in photography in my  late teens. Since then, I have explored different cameras, lenses, and genres, with my  favorites being nature and wildlife. My innate curiosity and different perspective have recently led me in the direction of photographing more intimate landscapes which lend  themselves to be more abstract. Most of my focus is on organic elements such as water,  rock, sand, plants and trees, with water being my go-to subject with its many variations, at  least for now. In photographing water, I like to explore with slow and fast shutter speeds,  intentional camera movement (ICM) and reflections. I am also intrigued by the beautifully  sculptured and colorful sandstone along the Northern California coastline and look for  interesting perspectives that most don’t see. Living in the Half Moon Bay area for six years,  and now just over the hill in Redwood City, I have so many amazing and beautiful  opportunities to experiment with my newfound love of abstract photography. I hope you will  enjoy seeing a different perspective and let your mind wander and have fun.
