MEET THE CREATOR



MELANIE ROSE
I've always been drawn to past time periods and longed to live in the enchanting worlds depicted in my favorite books and movies. When I decided to pursue modeling in New York City it wasn’t driven by an interest in fashion. Instead, I saw it as a way to transport myself into another world through fantasy photography, allowing me to embrace my love of dressing up while using my imagination and creativity.
Most everyday paid gigs involved e-commerce and commercial work, but my real passion was for editorial, high fantasy, and avant-garde style shoots. Due to the scarcity of those types of projects, I decided to create them myself. I brought together teams of creative artists and stepped into the role of creative director by organizing themed photoshoots.
In addition to modeling, I sell wine charms on Etsy, care for reptiles and exotic animals, perform as a showgirl, act as a liquor brand ambassador, and help manage an upscale cirque-style event company.
My goal with Everlore is to build a community of creative professionals, small business owners, and fantasy enthusiasts, providing a space to unleash creativity and self-expression. From my experience in the industry, I’ve seen that even in creative fields, artists often get stuck in repetitive, non-creative work—corporate shoots, the same bridal hairstyles, or standard makeup looks. When I proposed themed shoots that encouraged artistic freedom and out-of-the-norm concepts, the response was overwhelmingly positive.
“A wild longing for strong emotions and sensations seethes in me, a rage against this toneless, flat, normal and sterile life.”
- Hermann Hesse, Steppenwolf
