Mel Waite is a photographic artist and professional photographer based in Porirua. With a deep appreciation for nature and the simple pleasures of life, her work reflects a strong connection to the natural world. Known for her keen eye for detail, Mel transforms often-overlooked subjects into intricate visual compositions, celebrating the quiet beauty in things that might otherwise go unnoticed. Her current body of work focuses on insects—creatures frequently perceived as unappealing or unsettling. Through this series, Mel invites viewers to see the inherent beauty and uniqueness of these life forms, while also acknowledging the discomfort and sense of otherness they can evoke. Each piece in this collection is either a one-of-a-kind original or part of a very limited edition of three.
