Testimonials

Leila Benn Harris


Melanie was an absolute joy to work with. I felt instantly at ease during our session. Professional, passionate, and determined to capture the best shots, using as much time as is necessary to get the job done. I'm thrilled! My agent is thrilled! I could not have asked for more!

Clare Langford


Working with Mel was an absolute pleasure.

From our early discussions about what was needed, to the photo shoot itself, to the tricky process of choosing my final headshots, she was supportive, sensitive and professional. Whilst I felt that she always remained aware of the requirements, Mel also brought her own sense of creativity and playfulness to the photo shoot. This not only created a relaxed atmosphere but allowed us to explore and to find some unexpected shots that I was really happy with. Mel takes the time to get to know you and to find or create a space that brings out the very best!

I can't recommend Mel highly enough.

She was kind and considerate, always checking I was ok in the cold wind. At the same time she was professional and efficient and I immediately trusted her ability to get the perfect photo.

Melanie was an absolute joy to work with when shooting my new headshots.

She listened attentively about the looks I wanted to achieve and did a beautiful job in executing them.

We took our time working with natural daylight, which gave some charming and versatile shots. I felt entirely at ease and comfortable knowing we were both working towards the same aim.

Post shoot Mel sent the images for me to peruse very quickly, and the same for my retouched images. Her shots are enchanting and she captures the essence of the subject with clarity and feeling. I get complimented on my headshots all the time. Truly beautiful work.

I always find getting new headshots done a tense experience, and have subsequently been disappointed with the results. Not so this time! Mel is really friendly and skilled and she instantly made me feel relaxed. I actually enjoyed the shoot and was thrilled with the results!

I felt like Mel took the time to find out who I was as a performer and person. As a result she managed to capture a genuine and unguarded sense of my unique energy and presence.

I always dread the moment in a photo shoot when the photographer asks you to smile convincingly. With Mel I had no problems. That's the best recommendation I can give!

Allyson Brown


Thoroughly enjoyed shooting with Mel. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt comfortable and was able to relax and just have fun! A highly recommended bespoke service to suit your individual needs.

Zoe Rainey


I had such a great time with Melanie on our photo shoot. She has a real ability to make you feel like you've known each other for years and therefore I felt very comfortable. I trusted her judgement and didn't need to see the photos back during the session as I could leave it in her capable hands. As a result I was so pleased with the end result.

Rachel Tucker


I adored working with Mel! She made me feel totally at ease and led me by the hand through each shot. I believe she captured me in many ways and effortlessly. I loved it so much and was so in my stride that by the end I didn't want to stop! Thank you Mel!

Despite being in the theatre industry for almost 13 years, getting my professional headshot taken is something I have never been 100% comfortable with. I always found it so exposing and I never quite knew how to be 'natural' in front of a lens, especially with a photographer I'd never met before. However, Melanie was warm, encouraging and reassuring, resulting in me relaxing on my shoot and enabling both confidence in my stance and my relationship with the photographer. Her shot is unique, fresh and my agent loved all 3 shots. I would highly recommend her!
