London Brand Photography - A Soulful Shoot with Graphic Designer Round The Mountain

An October personal branding shoot in Hackney with the brilliantly talented Melissa Burns of Round The Mountain, featuring some pre-Halloween pumpkins!

A designer by day, Melissa set up her business three years ago and works with a wide variety of brands assisting with graphic design, identity, art direction and strategy. Her work spans fashion, beauty, culture and lifestyle and her designs are super cool.

Hanging out with Mel was a whole lot of fun (see my Instagram reel for some behind the scenes action). We started early at The Fisheries, a co-working space in London Fields, with an industrial feel, huge windows and beautiful light… perfect to capture portraits of Mel at work.

Keen to take some urban shots too, we headed out into the nearby streets and railway arches and then, as if by magic, the sun poked it’s head out for a brief moment! I love everything we created on this shoot and I’m over the moon with the results (see gallery below).

What an absolute dream Brenna is to work with! Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, she has the skill of making you feel totally at ease in front of the camera. Brenna made the whole process so easy and it felt like hanging out with a close friend for the morning which made me instantly feel so much more comfortable. Brenna is creative, versatile and captures personalities perfectly. I was totally blown away by her pictures, she’s made me like every angle of myself - something I’ve previously been quite self critical of. I couldn’t recommend her enough!
