INTERIORS & EXTERIORS AND RESORT PHOTOGRAPHY Apr 2011

Mel Yates is an award-winning photographer and video maker, who specialises in interiors and people. He discovered a passion for photography whilst studying industrial design at Central St Martin's School of Art, London, and his design background has helped create a deep understanding of the projects he shoots - often the work of some of the world's top designers.

Recently, he has shot a book with leading interior designer Kelly Hoppen and made videos with Phillipe Starck, Jade Jagger, Anoushka Hempel and the design team at yoo Interiors. Also, in recent months, he has photographed unique buildings by architects Rafael Vinoly and Jorn Utzon, shot numerous interior stories for House & Garden and many other magazines, advertising and brochures for several clients including Heal's, as well as the latest fabric and wallpaper collections for Sanderson and new health spas opened by The Sanctuary.
