Mel Karch was born and raised in Germany and studied art and graphic design in Paris. Her first steps into photography were, with a black and white reportage on the Kings of the Ivory Coast in West Africa.
In Paris, Mel went on to assist internationally reknown photographers such as Annie Leibovitz and Mark Seliger before beginning her own career in fashion photography.
After winning the Fuji Prize for Young Photographers in Paris, followed by the Canon Award in Germany, she gained exposure with the success of two exhibitions of her private work.
“I think that the minimalistic composition of my images, underlined by a cinematographic lighting, gives them a dream-like surrealism. Each image is a captured moment in life which helps constitute my universe”.
Mel’s spirit of adventure and travel has taken her to spectacular locations around the world on assignment for publications such as The New York Times, Marie-Claire Italia, Vogue Nippon, Vogue US, D la Repubblica, Common and Sense, Stern, and brands including Lufthansa, BCBG, Diesel, Panasonic, Nike, S. Oliver and Kenzo.
