WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER
WELCOME TO ABLONDI-PHOTOGRAPHY, THE HOME OF WESTERN MASSACHUSETTS DOCUMENTARY PHOTOGRAPHER MELISSA ABLONDI ALVES
Photography is an art of observation.
It has little to do with the things you see
and everything to do
with the way you see them.
Elliott Erwitt
When the soul is dancing, I want to capture it. Particularly when photographing children; their souls dance when they play. They are the happiest and make the best subjects when they are engrossed in their own world; their imagination. Becoming a keen observer of children at play allows me to capture their joie de vivre; the purest emotion.
As they get older, the way they view the world can be seen through their eyes, in their eyes; serious and thoughtful or playful and energetic. The magic is when that moment is frozen in time.

As a natural light photographer, I am drawn to the quality of light and aim to preserve a split-second of beauty for a lifetime of enjoyment.
