Originally trained as a product designer at Central St Martins, Mel shoots for a variety of brands such as British Airways, Dior, Harrods, Patek Philippe, and editorial clients such as Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, The New York Times and Vogue.

With a meticulous attention to detail, he has a real desire to understand, and deliver, each of his clients’ needs and ambitions. Although immensely experienced, Mel never wants to simply repeat anything he’s already done - but approaches each new shoot as an exciting opportunity.

Alongside his stills work he also directs short films, many of them design-related, with his moving image company, Reel Curious.
