While originally studying and working as a nurse, Mel Watt knew she needed a shift and decided to study a Diploma of Photography in 2009. Initially, Mel focused her photography business around kids and families.
However, a personally challenging time led Mel to pivot in 2019 and she found a new purpose in helping women celebrate who they are and reclaim their power through black and white, no makeup portraits.
In this conversation, Mel and I discussed:
- Mel's unique approach to photography, capturing the essence of her subjects through black and white, no-makeup portraits in a desire to simplify and uncover the true spirit within each person
- The challenges Mel faces with clients who are hesitant about her no-makeup policy. She believes in the empowering journey it offers and guides them through their fears to unlock their natural beauty.
- How Mel helps clients prepare for their photoshoot, choosing the best outfit and allowing them to express their personal desires for the session.
- The approach Mel took to pivoting into this style of photography and how she supported her mindset along the way
- Mel's favourite mantras, uplifting tunes and self-care practices, and how she finds joy in simple pleasures and connecting with nature.
