MÉLO (Mélodie Roulaud) est une photographe et réalisatrice franco-britannique, dont le travail s'étend à divers genres, notamment le documentaire, le portrait, la mode, la beauté et les projets commerciaux. Elle remet en question les processus créatifs traditionnels en brisant la séparation habituelle entre auteur et sujet, en mettant l'accent sur la co-création et les méthodes expérimentales. Elle se concentre sur l'exploration des mécanismes de la représentation, en mettant en évidence les forces invisibles et les éléments intangibles qui façonnent les corps, les expériences et le monde naturel.
MÉLO est également maître de conférences associée à l'University of the Arts London, London College of Fashion.
