Tuck into some of Melissa's favourite projects; from pint sized cookbooks and well loved magazines to dizzying digital displays. These works weren't crafted just to show you how food looks, but also how it feels.

Food Photography

If you have a food story that needs to be told, Melissa will tell it. You need to be transported to nonna’s house in Italy? Melissa will help you get there (in the studio of course). Melissa’s passion for food and her eye for composition and colour allow her to create captivating imagery for commercial and editorial clients alike.

Lifestyle Photography

Melissa also offers lifestyle photography. Food and lifestyle often go hand in hand and over the years Melissa has really expanded her lifestyle portfolio. From chefs to yoga instructors, Melissa is able to capture any individual's character through her photography.

Lighting

Melissa works with both artificial and natural lighting. Melissa’s work tends to lean more towards the daylight look, even though it may have been shot in a studio in the depths of Winter. Melissa will always choose the best lighting for your brand's look and feel.

Editing & Retouch

Oftentimes Melissa will retouch her own work. However some jobs require a lot of post production and in this instance Melissa works with one of her trusted retouchers to get the job done.

Prop Styling

As well as photographing the food, Melissa sometimes provides the dishes the food is sat on too. Drawing on her years of experience working with some of the best prop stylists and art directors in the industry, Melissa knows just where to source the props for your job. Need a flat-matt-grey-but-more-kinda-purple-heather-handmade plate that’s just the right size? Melissa knows where to find that.
