About Me
Always Chasing Light and Untouched Scenes
My name’s Mel, the face behind Melanie White Creative. I’m an avid outdoor enthusiast and creator who has been chasing scenes in the outdoors of New Zealand and across the world for over 7 years. It’s an understatement to say that I’ve fallen in love with the outdoors and all that they do for us.
This journey behind the camera sparked years ago from a little bit of stargazing and what one might call outdoor therapy in places people only dream about. Capturing moments in nature and on my adventures has become a huge passion of mine and has since turned into epic creative pursuits and creative projects with brands, people and more. From the depths of New Zealand, to bucketlist international pursuits and photographic dreams, I hope that this space inspires at least one person to chase those dreams, go off the beaten track and take the leap.
Welcome to my creative outlet, a place to not only share my photo dreams and adventures but also help you create yours.
I can’t wait to share this space with you as an outlet to document the places that help me get a grasp on the world and that tell a story beyond the camera.
I love it here and I can’t wait to share the adventure with you.

The Outdoors are the Gateway to Creativity
I truly believe that spending a little bit of time outside is enough to unlock everyone’s spark of wonder, inspiration and true potential. It’s a place where nothing really matters and doesn’t ask anything of you but to just be and maybe wonder a little - that sounds like the perfect space to create whatever you want. An open door to authenticity. Agree?
If you’re here, you’ve stumbled upon not only my adventure diary and place for recent work and collaborations but the landing page for all my creative services that have blossomed from simply just being outside.
Whether you’re an outdoor brand looking for some fresh content in the backcountry or a unique stay or experience wanting to extend your reach to adventure lovers on social media - I’m here to help!
