Melanie Greene is the founder and principal photographer of Greenehouse NYC.
A Philadelphia native, she’s spent more than thirty years honing her skills on anything that stayed still long enough to be photographed: children, animals, nature, architecture. She parlayed her talent into a Masters in Art Education from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. After several years in New York City schools, during which her free time was spent with a camera looped around her neck, Melanie decided to switch to photography full-time. That was ten years ago.
Over the past decade, Melanie has focused on capturing the essence of homes entering the real estate market. She has a deep appreciation for visual content, and views homes as more than simply four walls with a floor and ceiling. Through strategic staging, unique angles, special lenses, and thoughtful composition she is able to showcase the best features of indoor and outdoor spaces. In recent years, she has begun training up-and-coming artists in real estate photography.
In addition, Melanie is known for her flattering headshots. In her spare time – and for those who are very lucky – she captures intimate family moments, transforming memories into art.
Melanie’s photographs have been instrumental in the sale and rental of properties by all the major New York real estate companies, including Compass, Corcoran, Douglas Elliman, Extell Developers, Brown Harris Stevens and Sotheby’s. In addition, her striking images have been featured in print in the New York Times, Architectural Digest, and the Wall Street Journal; and on such websites as Brownstoner, Houzz, 6sqft and Curbed NY.
Melanie currently lives in Forest Hills, Queens with her husband and dog, Daisy. In her spare time, she tackles puzzles, confronts the unfathomable mystery of home baking, and keeps Daisy from getting into trouble.
