Melissa Moffat Photography

About me:

Talent is something you can’t teach. The “artist eye” is not bestowed on everyone that owns a camera. What separates Melissa Moffats’ images from the rest is uncompromising vision. A professional since 2006 Melissa has placed her work in the following publications: Echo Magazine (entertainment weekly), View Magazine, The Toronto Star, Eye Weekly, Fashion Magazine (Canada), EnRoute (Air Canada), Tambourine, Manifesto Urban Music and Art Festival website. Melissa cut her teeth snapping the underground music scene of Kw and Toronto. She also has gained notoriety as a free-lance concert photographer freezing in time the visage of such notables as GZA (Wu-Tang Clan), Talib Kweli, Brassmunk, Rich Kid, Broken Social Scene, Sloan and many more. In her brief career she has immortalized over 100 bands with her trusty lens. Her fresh take on the individuality of her subject has gained the attention of those in the fashion industry as well. Most recently she has captured the fashion of Bruno Ierullo for Ad campaigns in EnRoute Magazine (Air Canada) and Fashion Magazine (September and December 2009). Compassion has also played a big role in Melissa’s ability to etch out personality in on-location shoots. She proved this as the in-house photographer for the Father Ray Foundation at the Pattaya Orphanage in Thailand. She thankfully held this position for six months and acknowledges “ that was an eye opening and awarding experience for me”. It’s this heart and a knack for creating dialogue with lighting that propels her subjects off of the page. Melissa draws on this and other worldly experiences along with her Wilfrid Laurier University, Psychology degree and Sheridan College, Applied Photography diploma. Combining intellect and talent is what gives her work universal appeal. ..
