Visual Strategies and Concepts

(Founded with Intention and purpose)

Michele Silva — is a photographer based in Scotland, working across the UK and beyond.

‘‘I create atmospheric, story-driven imagery for brands, creatives, and individuals who value authenticity, artistry, and connection. With a background in fashion, design, and global brand work, I bring a refined yet intuitive lens to each project — capturing not just how things look, but how they feel.

Whether you’re an emerging label, a creative founder, or a publication looking to commission lifestyle or travel work, I craft photographs that express depth, identity, and emotion.

My approach combines visual storytelling with a deep sensitivity to people and place. From soulful portraits to curated interiors, editorial campaigns to candid, on-location shoots — each project is shaped by collaboration and care’’.
