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.

So I try to notice the small, real moments and capture them through cinematography and photography.  I share honest stories about life, creativity and health.

 

Hey,

I'm Merili

aka Mel

 

CINEMATOGRAPHER.
Photographer.
Designer.
ENTREPRENEUR.
Waterfront portrait series with sailing vessels and mountainous islands in distance.

 

I'm an Estonian creative capturing life through honest, emotional stories. As a photographer and cinematographer, I focus on the moments that often go unnoticed and build visuals that feel true to the people in them. Living with heart disease and having gone through 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 love working with people and brands who care about real moments and good stories. It could be a portrait session, a styled shoot or a campaign for your brand. 

I'm based between Estonia and India and always open to shooting somewhere new.
