Melissa Mullins Portraits

My work is a lot about listening. I hear a woman's story and then translate it into the way I pose her and how I photograph her. I believe "weird" is a compliment. I dance through the aisles of H-Mart to K-pop music while my husband pretends he doesn't know me. I believe a dream isn't complete until there's a plan to achieve it.

I never fill up the gas in my car until well after the empty light comes on. I believe in living like a local instead of traveling like a tourist. The rational part of my brain knows it's all made up, but I still love taking personality tests. I believe in building your own community of misfits. I still wear my favorite powerpuff girl pajamas I've had since 8th grade.
