The work Mel came back with was impeccable, capturing both intimate details and broad atmospheres. She was clever with the camera.

She worked with our musicians to photograph a live performance. She was fantastic, taking shots both during our dress rehearsal and during the performance.

Despite difficult lighting in our venue, she managed to make every shot glow.

What's more, she was a wonderful personality and meshed so perfectly with our group, making us feel comfortable and at ease. 

Thank you Mel!

It was a real pleasure to work with Mel from day one. Once I introduced my project to her, she quickly proposed creative ideas and guidance with a great enthusiasm.

She did several photo shoots and I was extremely happy with the efficiency and professionalism of her work.

The final pictures of my project are stunning and I look forward to working with her again soon.
I highly recommend her if you are looking for a dedicated, professional and creative photographer! ‘

Being Freelance Through a Crisis
Being Freelance Through a Crisis

I have a lot of people asking how to make the leap into the world of freelancing, how to set up and prep, how to not only survive, but strive and also have fun doing it!

So I have been compiling lots of stories and tips and tricks to help you all along the way, elements I have learned the hard way, and hope that you might benefit from.... but then Russia invaded Ukraine… and here we are!

How do you freelance while living on the edge of a world war?

Let's Talk Love!
Let's Talk Love!

Ahh love! February is filled with it! Red roses, chocolates, cards expressing multiple thoughts as if from cupids arrow itself.

I’m a big fan of love! But not in the way you might think…. It’s the connection, the sheer encompassing emotion that fills you from the tip of your toes to the top of your head, and all for another being! Eeeek! That’s beautiful, isn’t it?

Creating your own path to greatness 
Creating your own path to greatness 

“As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world, but in being able to remake ourselves.”

– Mahatma Gandhi

Success is defined in different ways by different people. For one person it might be owning a large villa in the South of France, for someone else it may be running a small local business. But real success is less about money and status and more about the path towards achieving goals and dreams.

The path that may be right for one person but not so much for the other!

Top Tips for a 'Tip Top' 2022
Top Tips for a 'Tip Top' 2022

Have you felt it in the air?

This commitment and fierce determination for growth and self-promotion heading into 2022? It’s everywhere I look, the focus, the words of encouragement, the pride in self-love… it’s all consuming… and I have to say! I am fully onboard!I stand here looking at the years gone by, the enthusiastic promises of January’s past … 100% guilty of it myself!

Not anymore!

But these resolutions are easy to make and hard to keep for one very simple reason… they’re not realistic, or more detrimentally, they are too vague.

We’ve all been here before, skipping down the New Year’s resolutions rabbit hole starting out, full of optimism and enthusiasm… yet most of us start hungering for February and the permission to return to our old habits and comfort zones – and who can blame us... keeping promises to ourselves is hard, changing habits that are easy into ones that take dedication and hard work.. are, well… hard work!

Meet the 'Mel' in Mel Brown Studios

Hello friends!

I thought it was about time I properly introduced myself. I’ve been blogging here since 2016 and I haven’t formally introduced myself…. how rude! J That’s quite a few years of stories, photos and adventures, and a lot has changed since then.

If you have been with me a while…

! THANK YOU !

If you’re new here, this blog is an expression of creativity, inspiration, and growth. I’m basically your go-to for the wonderful authentic journeys we embark on, creatively bringing these beautiful stories to life; be it through photography or creating the framework for live action through production, where I spend each day learning, growing, pushing boundaries, and finding new ways to create!
