Melvin Carter is a multidisciplinary creative, educator, and founder of Mastered Creations, a platform dedicated to visual storytelling through photography, cinematography, and design. With a deep-rooted passion for empowering others through art and education, Melvin uses his work to bridge the gap between creativity and purpose — capturing moments that resonate, inspire, and challenge.

​

Starting as a self-taught traditional artist in 2012, Melvin has continuously expanded his craft, eventually merging his love for visual storytelling with formal training in cinematography and a growing portfolio in photography and videography. 

​

Melvin’s dedication extends beyond the lens as he's exercised his commitment to uplifting underserved communities through financial literacy workshops, youth-focused initiatives, and visual campaigns that amplify marginalized voices. Regardless of the creative capacity of his work, his vision remains the same: to use storytelling as a catalyst for transformation and connection.

​

Currently based in Cleveland, Ohio, Melvin continues to lead with authenticity, artistic innovation, and a passion for mentorship — always striving to master his craft and inspire others to do the same.
