My name is Melchior Dias Santos.
I am a German multidisciplinary photographer and visual artist currently based in Kraków, Poland.
My creative "journey" started with an early musical education in playing piano and pencil drawings. After some years of creative absence and "Selbstfindung" I rediscovered my love for visual arts in the form of acrylic paintings. I bought a DSLR to "scan" those canvases and document my life. That's how I ended up with my first ever camera.
Photography as a medium became an addiction shortly after. I like the accessibility and freedom it provides.
You'll find both analogue and digital photographs in my portfolio. Often driven by aesthetics and personal points of interest. I don't like to think in genres but some might describe me as a candid- or street-photographer. I just like to take photos.
And I like to cook.
