Melody Locke Art
Traditional and Alternative Photography
Houston artist Melody Locke creates art that exists at the intersection of nature and imagination, where the ordinary becomes otherworldly. Working with both traditional and non-camera photographic processes, she creates images that evoke the quiet mystery of dreams, memory, and time. Whether developing black-and-white film in a wet darkroom or exposing botanical materials to sunlight, her prints shimmer with light, color, and emotion.
Melody invites you to slow down and take a closer look. Her work blurs the line between the real and the imagined, reminding us that wonder often lies just beyond what we see.

Lumen Prints
Lumen prints are developed by sunlight or a similar light source on gelatin-silver photographic paper. They are then processed in a traditional darkroom and hand-toned in a selenium or gold solution.

Prints from Black and White Film
Black-and-white gelatin silver prints are hand-printed from B&W film in a traditional darkroom on high-quality fiber paper, then selenium-, gold-, or sepia-toned.

Infrared Prints
Black-and-white gelatin-silver prints are hand-printed in a traditional darkroom from infrared film on high-quality fiber paper, then selenium-toned, gold-toned, or sepia-toned.
