Melissa Farlow stumbled into photography, as a junior at Indiana University because the First Aid class she was looking into was full. She was in search of one last class to fill her schedule as a yet undecided major, when her interest in journalism prompted her to ask what was available in the journalism department, Non-verbal communication was not only the answer, but the cure to her vocational confusion. Farlow is currently a freelance photographer who has contributed to National Geographic magazine for the past 12 years. Previously, Farlow was a staff photographer at the Pittsburgh Press, the Courier-Journal and Louisville Times. While in Louisville, she was part of a team that won a Pulitzer Prize in 1976 for photographic coverage of public school desegregation along with Bill Luster. Farlow has worked in three African countries for “Women in the Material World," a book comparing women’s roles in different cultures. She’s also photographed two National Geographic books one in Chile, Peru, and Mexico for a book on the Pan American Highway and another on U.S. public lands. Her images have won multiple awards in the Pictures of the Year competition. Farlow received her B.A. in journalism from Indiana University and her Masters from the University of Missouri where she also taught photojournalism. She has been on faculty at the Missouri Photo Workshop for 12 years, the Center of Photographic Studies in Louisville and the Anderson Ranch of Fine Arts in Aspen.
