Photomanipulation nominee

The series „Dark Sides“ deals with bad experiences and - unsuccessful - coping mechanisms. The pictures of this project are deliberately kept minimalistic with a deep black background. The depicted people are anonymous: they are covered, turned upside down or shown from behind while their "dark Sides" are exposed.

Melanie Haberkorn is a graduate of the Photo Academy Cologne. After working as a criminal defense attorney, she decided to study photography in 2013. Her works have been awarded prizes in international competitions and published in professional journals.
