\nBorn in Mississauga, Ontario. From when I was young, I knew I always had a passion for digital arts. As I grew older I gravitated more towards photography, retouching and graphic design.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
Growing up in an Italian household and learning about my heritage growing up, I became very inspired by how deep and rich Italian art is, and how they cherish their art. This inspired me to follow my interest in the arts and pursue that.\u00a0<\/p>
Come spring 2023, I will be graduating from Sheridan College’s Facult of Animation, Arts\u00a0 & Design with a focus on Photography. Through this program I have learned the ins and outs of photography further from a technical perspective, but a hands on one. I produce work that aims to please both me and my clients. Alternatively, I like to produce work that takes lifestyle to a new level, sometimes taking a documentary route to tell a story.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"DSCF6398\"](\"http:\/\/melissa.cesario.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/DSCF6398-683x1024-499x748.jpg\" "\\"DSCF6398\\"")

With access to top of the line equipment for 4 years, I have developed a strong knowledge for the technical and creative aspects of photography.<\/p>\n
Additionally, I have had been using photoshop since I was the ripe age of 12 years old. Throughout the years I explored the entire adobe suite and have extension knowledge on a variety of programs within it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By exploring my interest in Adobe Photoshop throughout the years, I picked up on Adobe Illustrator as well and have been able to learn how to create graphics in a variety of different designs, colours, etc.<\/p>\n
With the extensive knowledge gained from Sheridan’s Photography program, we also have gained some training in video as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n View Portfolio <\/a>\n If you have a great idea, reach out to me.
