Mel Sinclair

The girl from down under shooting landscapes from up over.

Anyone with an eye on the Australian photo scene may well have heard of Mel Sinclair. Few Aussie photographers are as busy with their travels, study, blogging and, of course Photography. I first came across Mel on facebook, not sure how we connected, but she was planning a trip to Iceland at the end of 2015. Being the natural travel writer that is at the heart of Mel’s work, I was able to follow her journey around Iceland during our biggest lava eruption for over 200 years. Then, as if by accident, I actually bumped into her while I was running a tour along the South coast.

I then heard that Mel was touring Iceland again with Timothy Poulton. They actually asked me to tour with them, but my feet and ankles were giving me such a lot of shit, that I was not able to commit. So here we are with the second best thing… an interview with Mel Sinclair. My chance to introduce my readers to a young Australian girl who is worth keeping an eye on.
