Mélanie Brice

Melanie's relationship with Nikon began long before she considered photography as a profession. At eight years old, a small Nikon camera was among her toys, and she brought it to track and field competitions, family weddings, and every event she could attend, photographing everyone around her simply because she loved doing it. At eighteen, she received a Nikon D5500, a camera that grew with her through years of travel, personal projects, and evolving creative ambitions. What began as a way to record travel memories gradually transformed into a deeper practice once she focused on people and portraits. Today, Melanie works primarily with the Nikon Z6 II paired with the NIKKOR Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S, a combination she values for its versatility across both wide environmental compositions and tighter portrait framing. She also uses the NIKKOR Z MC 105mm f/2.8 VR S Micro for its precision and the quality of its bokeh in close portrait work, and relies on the Nikon Z30 with the NIKKOR Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR for lifestyle content and spontaneous everyday images. For Melanie, Nikon represents more than a tool; it reflects her entire journey as a photographer, from childhood curiosity to the creative path she continues to build.
