Melissa Trotter is a photographer and digital artist working in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. She started capturing with flowers and landscapes, but then she quickly moved to dark beauty and horror as the theme of her works.

Her work typically features children in controversial and thought-provoking settings and she said on her website, "... my passion lies in evoking emotion", which reveals the style of her works.
