Hiya! I'm Mel, a photographer specialising within Melbourne's vibrant hospo industry. 

As a food and lifestyle photographer, I help cafes, bars and restaurants to attract more customers through eye-catching and mouth-watering images. From cheeseburgers to caviar, I'll have your food and venue looking its very best. 

Pop over an enquiry via my contact form or email, I'd love to work together!
