Olivia’s brain has been in constant record mode since starting at Capture Studios. She reflects on her honours year and how it helped her grow as a confident creative and form a new mindset to trust herself. She reached out to make-up artists, models and sourced garments from some big NZ fashion designers, like Karen Walker and Trelise Cooper to use in her shoot. Those project management experiences along with her photography eye undoubtedly helped her to transition into the industry with ease.
Olivia Melhop is a photographer based in Wellington, New Zealand. Recently graduated with a Bachelor of Design (Hons), majoring in Photography at Massey University. Inspired by fashion, social customs, and advertising – Olivia’s work is frequently situated between documentary and fashion photography. Her eye-catching imagery and distinct use of colour plus composition are defining aspects of her approach.
