Carolyn C. Meltzer is a Los Angeles-based fine arts photographer whose work captures the most intimate glimpses of the natural world in a variety of habitats. Her subjects are portrayed at
close range to capture the dynamism of a small world few may notice. Meltzer’s digital photography takes advantage of natural light only and often emphasizes the abstract through a
shallow depth of field. Meltzer’s photographs have been featured in numerous solo and juried group shows in Atlanta, New York, New Orleans, Portland, and Athens, Greece; publications such as SxSE
Photomagazine and Edge of Humanity; and international arts festivals including Atlanta Celebrates Photography, Art Takes Miami, and PhotoNOLA. Her work has received several awards and a
representative portfolio is featured in Yale University’s Beinecke Library Archive. Meltzer has also enjoyed several fruitful artistic collaborations. Together with the renowned New York-based visual artist
Anne Patterson, Meltzer produced “Inspiration Echoed” in which photographer and painter amplify each media’s tribute to nature through a series of paired pieces. This work has been featured at both
Atlanta’s Woodruff Arts Center and Denise Bibro Gallery in New York City. Meltzer has also worked with poet Sophia Aley on the book and exhibit “Under Wraps,” and with writer/poet Don McIver on the
ongoing “Visuals in Verse” series. Meltzer’s work resides in private collections in Atlanta, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, and Charlotte.
