Home > Photography: Stills & Editorial > Stills Producers > Mel Brown

I am an energetic, proactive production manager and stills photographer with a passion for storytelling within creative teams. Working freelance within production and as a photographer, I have a wealth of experience working in large creative teams on a variety of creative projects in both still and moving image as well as experiential, delivering exceptional quality content, on time, on budget, and under pressure.
I have a solution-orientated, positive attitude with a patient and strategic approach to problems. I am a versatile, adaptable team player with a huge amount of energy, I am eager to learn new skills from those around me and am driven to get the best out of every team and every member. With a transparent, honest, proactive approach to life, I take great pride and care in the work that I do, and the people that I work with.
