Melissa Snell

Melissa lives in Capon Bridge and has a love for capturing raw images, just as one would see them with the naked eye.

"I became interested in photography through my life-long love of birding; I wanted to capture the images to enjoy at home. I have since expanded to capturing images of other wild life, landscapes, and rural scenes, mostly in Virginia and West Virginia. Lately, I have started doing environmental portraits and black and white images." - Melissa

The River House

Camera Club

The River House Camera Club is open to anyone interested in photography. By consensus we have a basic structure of meeting every two weeks, one meeting for a photo shoot (topic voted on at the previous meeting) and the next meeting a presentation on a area of interest and also sharing the photos taken at the previous photo shoot, with helpful comments by fellow club members. Topics we have covered so far and will again: “What is that button for?” “Depth of Field, Aperture, ISO, Shutter Speed” and “Composition.” We have done a photo shoot at North River Mills, the Winchester walking mall and The Piccadilly train station. 
Come join us!

Melissa jackson

Melissa Jackson is an artist from Petersburg, West Virginia. Her painting, collage, and installation work has been displayed at the Shenandoah Valley Art Center in the "40 Under 40" exhibit. "I see my work as emotional landscapes with found material. Utilizing my own personal regrets, feelings, disdain & love, reflected not just in the work itself, but in the fact that it truly was made with the intent and release of an inner dialogue made visual. "
