Photographs by Toronto photographer Melissa J. Clark

I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at the Ontario College of Art and Design University. I am originally from Langley, BC, and moved to Toronto for university in 2007.

My photographic style is constantly evolving, as I explore new concepts at school. I shoot both 35mm film, and digital. I have also recently learned about 4×5 viewcameras, and will soon be learning about medium format as well. I am fascinated by habits, routines, the unconscious, human interactions, and the influences of friends and family on oneself.

I am  often inspired by other photographers work. Some of my favourite photographers include Elina Brotherus, Francesca Woodman, Uta Barth, Justine Kurland, Malerie Marder, Roy Arden, Erwin Olaf, Gregory Crewdson, Larry Sultan, Sophie Calle, Rineke Dijkstra, Katy Grannan, Andreas Gursky, Thomas Struth, and Jitka Hanslova.

I am available for freelance work, commissions, and welcome any questions about my work.
