Amsterdam based photographer Melissa Schriek’s work explores the border between staged and documentary photography, using her photographs as a tool to raise questions about how we relate to one another and our environment. In Melissa’s images, the human body transforms in to a means of expression, with the city as a backdrop for her intricately choreographed works to perform.





































Movement is a key theme in Melissa's work so taking on directing motion alongside stills was a natural development for her. From commercial projects like 'Diners Club International' to her personal projects like 'The Shape of Summer' she uses her dynamic visual eye to create moving images that reflect her choreographic background in fluid synchronicity with her stills work.
