About Melanie Pullen

Melanie Pullen is an American photographer who lives and works in Los Angeles, California. Shortly after acquiring her first camera in her teens she began shooting for several publications, magazines, catalogs, and record labels. During her research into crime-scene photography, Pullen became haunted by war imagery. Pullen states, "As I grew desensitized to domestic crime and violence, I became more sensitized to images of war. To create High Fashion Crime Scenes (1995–2005), Pullen employed the services of up to 80 crew members and models per picture, with each image taking up to a month to create, and the series using over $13 million worth of clothing and accessories.
