I remember the first time I saw Melodee Solomon's work. It was a photo she'd taken of my teacher, Erin Telford. I was blown away by the way the light appeared in the photo, the softeness of the environment, and the way that Erin's energy came through. It took months for me to find the courage to step in front of her lens, and all that courage mustering was pointless, because Melodee is all heart.
I was so nervous to meet her that first time, taking care to be super respectful of the time and professional boundaries. Find out more about what it's been like to work with Melodee in my blog post here: www.tiffanycurren.com/blog/the-light-and-magic-that-is-melodee-solomon
Melodee has photographed hundreds of artists, healers, and conscious entrepreneurs in the wellness industry around the U.S. Her intention is to create imagery for projects, leaders, and movements that aim to implement healthier systems (internally and externally) for humanity and the planet. With her camera as a sacred tool, she births images into the world that spark curiosity for sustainable change; to bring consciousness to concepts that will help push forward human evolution and a thriving living planet.
Melodee's main inspiration is the relationship between healing of the self, creativity, and healing of the Earth. Mostly shooting outdoors, she weaves sacred ritual into her creative process by making offerings of sage, tobacco, corn, piñon and cedar to the land she works on. Each photo shoot is a conscious exchange between the sun, land, and essence of the subject. Through the medium of photography, coupled with the awe-inspiring quality of nature, she artfully reconnects humans to the life-force that flows through all living things.
Beyond her camera work, Melodee is a breath work facilitator, dedicated student of personal healing, and continues to explore the unfolding of how her gifts can further play into the larger role Earth stewardship.
