Visual storytelling for the moments worth pausing for.

 

Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop, take a day off and look around, you could miss it.

I capture those small, real moments—through photography, film, and design—sharing honest stories about life, creativity and health.

 

Hey,

I'm Merili

aka Mel

 

Visual Storyteller.
Photographer. Videographer.
Designer.
Waterfront portrait series with sailing vessels and mountainous islands in distance.

 

I’m an Estonian creative capturing life through honest, emotional stories. My work focuses on the moments that often go unnoticed.

As a content creator, YouTuber, designer, and entrepreneur, I build visuals that connect—whether through my agency, Quul Studio, or my ocean-inspired brand, Surface Interval.

Living with heart disease and having undergone three heart surgeries, I’ve learned that challenges don’t limit us—they give our stories depth. Through my art, I hope to remind others to pause, stay true, and keep creating.

I work with people and brands who value honesty, emotion, and storytelling. Whether it’s a portrait session, creative shoot, or visual campaign, my approach is simple — to create something that feels real.

I’m based in Estonia but often travel between Europe and India, working wherever stories take me. If you’d like to collaborate, book a shoot, or bring your vision to life, reach out and tell me what you have in mind.
