Hazel of Empowering Your Circle chats with Brigitta Scholz Mastroianni of NUX Photography
Season 1, Ep. 10
•
Welcome back to my Empowering Your Circle podcast. I'm Hazel and I just love interviewing and bringing your stories to life to inspire and help others.
Today's episode was a genuinely lovely, lively and fun conversation with lots of amazing tips and information and one I’m really pleased to be sharing with you.
I’m joined by Brigitta Scholz Mastroianni, the person behind NUX Photography. Brigitta has a very special way of working with people, especially those who don’t naturally feel comfortable in front of the camera.
What really comes through in this conversation is that she’s not just taking photos, she’s creating space. Space for people to relax, to be themselves, and to be seen in a way that feels natural and kind.
We talk about confidence, about showing up as yourself, and about how photography can actually be an experience rather than something to endure. There’s a lot of warmth in this conversation, a few laughs along the way, and plenty of moments that will resonate whether you’re a business owner, a creative, or someone who simply avoids being photographed.

I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation.
Let’s get into it.

Instead, she set out to recreate high-quality gluten-free bread with the flavour and texture she missed, leading her to develop online gluten-free baking classes and in-person bread workshops.Today, Anne supports people newly diagnosed with coeliac disease or those transitioning to a gluten-free lifestyle, combining her expertise in nutrition, lifestyle change, and gluten-free baking to help them rebuild confidence and thrive.
