Mel Yates is an award-winning photographer specialising in shooting people, interiors and still life. He particularly loves to combine these disciplines, photographing people in their environments and products on location.

Having switched to photography from industrial design, Mel's eye and appreciation for design are always present throughout his work. He also has vast experience in portraiture, including Hollywood celebrities and business leaders. He has worked for Elle Decoration, Marie Claire Maison, Vogue, Harvey Nichols, T-Mobile and Vitra.

Recent projects include the current European advertising campaign for GE Capital, which features people from a range of industries across France, Germany and the UK. Among other recent commissions, Mel has been working with interior designer Kelly Hoppen to create a set of images which are appearing in magazines around the world, while he also has continued to work with leading UK homeware brands Heal's and Graham & Green, for whom he has shot all the interior and lifestyle photography for several years.
