About Us |
A graduate of Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Kate Melton has been a professional photographer for almost two decades. With a solid background in studio illustration and photojournalism, she portrays people with clarity, compassion and humor. Her relaxed style disarms even the most camera-shy subject and captures them in a way that illuminates and inspires.
Kate's images are fully realized in the moment, capturing an emotion, a thought or a sense of spirit in the instant it reveals itself. Her brand, Real life. Interpreted.®, speaks of her editorial shooting style with a realistic edge. Her flair for portraiture, lighting and composition captures unique qualities of any commercial subject, enhancing its image with style and expression.
"The key to commercial and/or editorial photography is in capturing the personal. Every product has a personality. Every company has a culture. And every business person has a story to tell," says Kate. But whether she is photographing a person in the corporate culture or just people living their everyday lives, Kate insists that "behind every person's eyes is a story to be told and it's my job to tell it."

| Testimonials |
Kate was our photographer for several years as we established our brand identity and look. She did a great job and we continue to use photos she took for us. I would recommend her as a professional photographer our website is www.stjohnsliving.org.” October 29, 2010
Top qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert
Duane Girdner,VP Marketing at St. John's (formerly St. John's Seniors Communities)
“Kate has completed several personal and professional photography assignments for me over the years and each has been a great success.
She has a wonderful touch as a photographer: she can get the most nervous person to relax, producing splendid results.
She has carried out some challenging assignments; one was capturing for family members photographs of relatives in nursing homes, or hospice care. She organized the shoots with great warmth and compassion, earning their trust and cooperation.
She always delivers on time and on budget. I cherish the work she has done for our family. I will continue to hire Kate Melton, and hope readers of this recommendation do too!” August 22, 2010
Top qualities: Personable, Creative
