Melmo Photography

I’m Melmo — a South Ruislip‑based portrait photographer focused on creating natural, professional images that people actually want to use. I specialise in portraits and headshots for individuals and teams, helping freelancers, creatives and businesses put their best face forward online and in print. Why choose me? My work centres on relaxed, authentic portraits rather than stiff, overly‑posed shots. I use a conversational, low‑pressure approach that calms nerves and encourages genuine expression — perfect for LinkedIn profile photos, staff headshots, personal branding and website portraits. My aim is always to capture the person behind the role, so your images feel true to you and the story you want to tell. What makes my approach different is its simplicity and attention to context. I tailor each session to your goals: clean, confident headshots for business profiles; warm, lifestyle portraits that show personality for creatives; cohesive team portraits that work across web pages and social channels. I shoot on location — indoors or outdoors — and create studio‑style looks when a controlled setup suits the brief, so you get versatile images that match your brand and usage needs. How I work: I start with a brief conversation to understand your objectives and comfort level, then guide you through the session with clear direction and encouragement. My sessions are friendly and unhurried, designed to help even camera‑shy clients relax. For teams I keep things efficient and low‑stress so normal working days aren’t disrupted. After the shoot I deliver well‑edited images ready for LinkedIn, websites, press and social media. Based in South Ruislip and serving London and surrounding areas, I bring a commercial sensibility to portrait work — balancing natural moments with professional polish. If you want portraits that look like you, not a portrait of someone else, get in touch. I’ll help shape the right look, location and tone so your images feel authentic, professional and ready to use.
