Melissa Clayton is a photographer whose work is deeply rooted in capturing the essence of families and couples through archival compositions, as well as exploring the beauty of still life photography. Her work is driven by a personal mission to capture memories and inspired by her late mother, whose life was scarcely captured in photos.

Her photographs are visually striking and often paired with her reflections on the complexities of suffering and grace.
