Mariela Melamed was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Shortly after receiving her degree in Architecture and Urban Planning in 1989 from The University of Buenos Aires she immigrated to New York City. Mariela studied photography at The International Center of Photography in New York City and at the Westchester Art Workshop. Professionally, she continues to divide her time between architecture and photography. Mariela’s focus is on fine art photography and commercial portraiture, shooting either indoors in her studio or outdors. She has vast dark room experience that she has applied to the new world of digital photography.
