Nalani Hernandez-Melo generates opportunities for herself and her community as a photographer and curator
Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
Guests
Hecha en México, raised in Los Angeles, California, Nalani Hernandez-Melo is a
visual storyteller, photographer, and artist whose creative experience spans editorial and client projects in print, film, and digital media.
Heavily influenced by travel, cinema, and spirituality, Nalani is drawn to unearthing a person’s or a place’s essence through her emotive photography style. She advocates for cultural diversity + representation in the creative industry and her work ethic takes cues from her Mexican heritage and her passion for community building.
Most recently accepting the role of Gallery Director at Altura Los Angeles in Lincoln Heights and the launch of her personal art/photo studio Story and Image Studio, Nalani is embarking on a new path into curation and fine art photography.
