Brand photography for Mint Modern

Nicola Stewart

Mint Modern — Brand Strategy & Design for Food, Drink, Hospitality & Tourism

Nicola is the creative force behind Mint Modern, specialising in brand strategy and design for food, drink, hospitality and tourism businesses. She wanted imagery that reflected the quality of her work and helped her connect with ambitious business owners who understand the value of investing in a strong, cohesive brand.

Starting Point

Nicola had a clear and refined visual aesthetic and a strong body of work. She was looking for a collection of photographs that would reflect the quality and sophistication of her brand, while still showing the approachable and confident person behind the business.

Challenge

We wanted to create imagery that would speak directly to the kind of clients Nicola wanted to attract — ambitious business owners who value thoughtful design, strategy and a strong visual identity.

The photographs needed to feel polished and sophisticated without becoming overly formal or disconnected from Nicola's personality.

Shooting Concept

We started at Seaton House, a space that felt naturally aligned with Nicola's refined aesthetic. From there, we wandered through St Andrews, photographing her in places she knows and loves.

We brought her work into the story too — capturing her working in the environment of busy cafés, alongside organic textures and natural backdrops. This gave us a visual collection that felt editorial and considered, while still being very much Nicola.

Outcome

A sophisticated and varied collection of brand imagery that communicates Nicola's expertise, personality and the quality of work she delivers — helping her visual presence speak to the ambitious, design-conscious clients she wants to attract.
