Regina Melo, originally from Brazil,  is a self-taught Connecticut-based photographer. She feels the creative process as pure joy. Her approach is to be mindful of herself and the world around her, searching for the just right expression of some feeling or emotion.

Regina is an active member of the Close to Home Photo Salon, an online group of photographers from around the world, where she has participated in monthly challenges. She has also participated in photography workshops in England and Portugal, and continues to take classes and workshops hoping to expand her perspective and continually grow as an artist.
