Let me tell you—I just had one of the most eye-opening, liberating conversations with the incredible Mervyn Reid-Nelson, founder of You at Yours, Boudoir & BODY CONFIDENCE Photography studio in London. Our conversation was a wild ride through the world of photography, body image, and how stepping in front of the camera can be a powerful journey toward self-love and confidence.
Merv’s approach is unlike anything you’ve ever heard before. It’s not just about snapping pretty pictures; it’s about creating an experience that helps you tap into the most authentic version of yourself. We took a deep dive into the psychology behind why photos of ourselves can make us feel so vulnerable and how Merv’s unique method flips the script, turning a simple photo session into a life-changing rollercoaster of emotions.
Highlights from our chat include:
This episode left me buzzing with excitement—and maybe even a little nervous energy—because it reminded me that confidence isn’t about perfection; it’s about embracing who we are in our most raw, real moments.
Trust me, after listening to this, you might just find yourself booking a flight to do a shoot with Merv—or at least looking at your next headshot session with a brand-new perspective.
Tune in now, and let’s get you feeling photo-fabulous!
