About Melodie Yvonne

Poet and multidisciplinary artist Melodie Yvonne grew up in the small southern Indiana town of North Vernon. She picked up her first camera at the age of 5, and was immediately hooked. She received an Associates of Applied Science in Visual Communications majoring in Photography from Ivy Tech in 2002 after studying under acclaimed professors and mentoring under many masters in the field.

Melodie’s main focus has always been poetry & fine art photography. Growing up listening to amazing musicians inspired her dream to create visual images that made people feel the way they do when listening to music. Her goal was to help people SEE the music.

Melodie has done numerous jobs around the country ranging from working for bands to being the official photographer on many Poker Runs. She published her first print work, a collection of images & poetry, in 2011, and has since published many more collections. Currently, Melodie acts as owner & lead photographer at Photographic Melodie, has ongoing visual art exhibitions at multiple venues, and frequently is found around Indy performing poetry at every opportunity.

Melodie says, “I started out with a Tweety bird camera and a dream and I never let go. I will always love photography and the vessel it has given me to share the images of my heart and mind with the world. I have found that every single person on this earth visualizes the world in very different ways. Some people are optimists, some are pessimists. Some people are daydreamers, and others keep their feet firmly planted on the ground. Photography allows me to show some of these different visualizations. It allows the rationalist to see that it’s okay to dream, it can show the monsters hidden in the dark, and it can show even the saddest of people that there is still joy in the world.”
