BVis Dip.FineArt M.Photog ANZIPP PSQ-A
Mel (Melanie) Sinclair is a Landscape and Creative Photographer based in Ipswich, Queensland.
She is drawn to the quiet tension between intention and accident. Working primarily with landscape and observational imagery, her practice begins with attentiveness, to light, place, and the small, often overlooked details that reveal something human within the environment. She is interested in irony and gentle humour, in moments where effort, ambition, or control are quietly undone by scale, chance, or time.
Her images are shaped by patience and curiosity rather than spectacle. She looks for shapes in the landscape however they were made and records them as she finds them. These forms become stand-ins for interpersonal relationships, reflecting our well-meaning, fallible attempts to impose order, held together by a gentle faith in happenstance.
I hold a Bachelors of Creative Industries (Visual Arts) from QUT and a Diploma of Fine Art (TAFE)
I am also an accredited judge with the Photographic Society of Queensland and have judged nationally and internationally for a variety of competitions.
