Hotel Film & Photography

By Melissa Brown

With a deep love for beautiful spaces and the stories they hold, I work full-time as a photographer and filmmaker capturing the unique character of boutique hotels, game lodges, and interiors that feel like they’re lived in and loved.

I’m endlessly inspired by thoughtful design, natural textures, moody light, and quiet luxury - the kind that doesn’t shout, but stays with you. Give me stone floors, linen curtains moving in the breeze, candlelight on reclaimed wood, or a clawfoot bath in the middle of the bush, and I’ll be in my element.

What makes me tick? Slow travel, earthy colour palettes, coffee, stories told through objects, soft jazz in the background, the golden hour glow that hits a white wall just right, and boutique hotels that feel more like homes.

I feel incredibly blessed that my work lets me spend time in beautiful spaces that others have poured their hearts into, and even luckier that I get to capture it all and share that beauty through my lens.
