Creativity. Sensuality. Innocence. Strength. Some might say these reflect the photographer, others would point to Associate Photographer, Malissa Dunn's work. No matter which, they all lead in one direction -- to memories created.

Malissa, based in northern Durham, blends people with their surroundings. With an eye for hidden secrets, Malissa captures memories some might consider politically correct -- or not. She may also take deliberate measures to strategically cover elements that leave themselves best to the imagination.

What don't you see as you look around a room? That's what Malissa looks for. What did you miss by racing through life? That's what Malissa captures. Life in the moment. Love in the most brief space of time. Laughter that shows itself only when properly encouraged.

Out of the box, no preconceived notions. That's Malissa.

We invite you to view her galleries for a sample of her work.
