Melissa Farlow is currently a freelance photographer contributing to National Geographic magazine for the past 14 years on subjects ranging from alligators in the Okefenokee Swamp to small town life in America. She is a documentary photographer whose images of landscape often address enviromental issues. Photographing people and culture, however, is her greatest love. She photographed in Chile, Peru and Mexico for a book on the Pan American Highway and drove 20,000 miles in the American West photographing public lands for a book titled Wildlands of the West.
