Instructor

Melody Maloney is a commercial photographer, educator, and owner of Melody Maloney Photo. Based in Ottawa, her work spans interior architecture, portraiture, and event photography, with published work appearing in outlets including Edible Ottawa and Legion Magazine.

Her approach is centred on connecting with people, understanding the story behind a project, and turning that into polished, professional imagery.

Alongside her commercial practice, Melody has taught photography at Algonquin College for more than five years, including courses within the Photography program and Applied Museum Studies. She brings that mix of real-world experience and teaching into the classroom, helping students understand not just how to use a camera, but how to make stronger photographic decisions.
