Melissa Alcena is a Bahamian portrait and documentary photographer based between The Bahamas and NYC. Alcena’s practice has been the lens through which she has reintroduced herself to the Bahamian landscape, after studying in Canada. Through this exploration and reintroduction, Alcena documents people in situ, expanding the visual tropes often exported from the Caribbean. Often in conversation with her subjects, Alcena’s photographs are a testament to kinship and an ode to the landscape.
