Marcello Mellino, Photographer

Marcello Mellino has been interested in photography for many years having recently become involved in digital imaging while still keeping active with traditional film techniques.

He primarily works with nature and landscape images of Cleveland, as well as Florida and Italy, where he often travels, producing polychromic and monochromic prints.

His images highlight natural light and weather to capture the mood and the essence of the landscape, constantly attempting to record the image seen by the eye and often without significant technological manipulation, so that the final result will remain truly a reflection of what was naturally occurring. These images can be serene, dramatic, or quite intimate, aiming to induce the viewer into a challenging search for such a moment.

Marcello Mellino was born in Italy and has lived in Cleveland for more than 30 years, establishing an active medical career. He has been an active member of the Lakewood Photographic Society, the West Shore Art League, a Trustee of Bay Arts, and a passionate supporter of the Beck Center for the Arts. His work has been exhibited at several local galleries and has been accepted at recent juried art shows.
Marcello currently resides in Lakewood, Ohio with his wife Shelley.
