about Nick Mele
Over the last 10 years, Mele has become known for spinning tales of surreal characters in dreamlike domestic spaces. Documenting a lifestyle at once familiar yet fantastic, his imagery feels like a fanciful peek into life in the country's most luxurious resort towns.

Summer Hours
Summer Hours captures the fleeting magic of Northeastern summers. Set against a backdrop of weathered shingle houses and sun bleached docks, the series evokes a nostalgic return to a slower time. Children roam freely until dusk. Small imperfections, like a broken convertible roof, are embraced as part of the season’s charm rather than something to fix. Mischievous moments hint at the freedom and simplicity of summers past, creating a world that feels gently undone.
