I've been mentoring photographers for the past three years, and I'll be dishing out my insights, things to avoid, tips, and tricks to give you the confidence to kickstart and grow your own photography venture.

VALUE - Do you back yourself?

I'm an invested mentor and want to see everyone I teach reach their full potential. If you really want this, you will make it, and I will help you! I have seven years of trial and error under my belt!

You will make x100 what you invest in this workshop if you follow what I share with you during this intensive.

1:1 Mentoring services start at £800 (the results are career-changing). I'm setting the price of this workshop at a lower amount to reach my goal of helping 100 photographers start successful businesses in 2024. I usually help 5-10 a year 1:1.

There are only 7 spaces left on this occasion. Will you be one of them?_________________________________________________________

WARNING! This session WILL SELL OUT! I've had people chasing me on Instagram for months 🙈

Mark your calendars, secure your spot, and get ready to learn from the best (literally voted Best Boudoir Photographer in London 3 years running - google it ☺️) while connecting with fellow photography enthusiasts.

There will be time to ask some questions at the end, and I'll give you everything I have!

Can't wait to see you there! 📸🚀

 
 
 

Below is my bio so you can learn more about me, plus I've attached some photos to show I've been around the block a bit!

Mervyn Reid-Nelson, the visionary behind You At Yours, has established a transformative photography studio dedicated to empowering individuals of all body types. Rejecting the allure of filters and Photoshop, the studio's ethos revolves around conquering fears and embracing authenticity through the art of photography. With a rich background as a seasoned ex-wedding photographer, Mervyn brings a unique perspective to his craft, aiming to cultivate a different kind of harmony—enabling individuals to unlock the confidence within.

 
 

At You At Yours, Mervyn's unwavering passion for capturing genuine moments drives him to create an environment that celebrates each person's unique beauty and strength. He was deeply moved by witnessing countless individuals belittling themselves due to insecurities or falling prey to the all-too-common British self-deprecation. This served as the catalyst for crafting an experience that would unveil the true essence of his subjects—a journey of self-discovery that transcends the limits of societal expectations.

 
 

With over 600 transformative shoots under his belt, Mervyn has borne witness to this journey's incredible impact on individuals. It can reveal a version of themselves they never knew existed or rarely had the opportunity to see. The feedback from clients speaks volumes, attesting to the life-changing nature of the experience. By overcoming their fears and defying self-doubt, individuals emerge with a newfound sense of self-assurance, embracing their natural beauty and realising the strength that resides within.

 
 
 

+ Will there be a recording?


Yes! Access to the recording is available. You will need to purchase a ticket with the recording added. You'll then have access to a recording of the session and the slides, which will be sent to you within 72 hours of the workshop.


+ Can I take pictures of the slides?


Unfortunately not, but please, please take as many notes as you can. You will learn so much! If you'd like a copy of the slides, you can purchase a ticket with the slides included and you'll receive them within 72 hours of the workshop.


+ I think I might arrive late...


The session starts at 5.30pm with the workshop beginning at 6.00pm. Please aim to arrive by 5.55pm latest to avoid disrupting the workshop. An alternative is to get the recording so you can replay the parts you missed.


+ Is this suitable for any genre of photography?


Yes, any genre! From babies to bulldogs, I'll show you how to find your ideal clients and keep your brand relevant!


+ I'm still unsure...


If you implement what I teach, you'll make 100x the amount of this course! The question is, are you ready to invest in yourself? How badly do you want to succeed?


+ Are you just another photographer trying to make money off other photographers?


I was once in your position. I've done a million courses on photography (why are they all $97?!). This year, I aim to help 100 photographers reach their full potential. I've done the hard work and can advise you how to go about it in a way that avoids the pitfalls!


+ What's the refund policy?


You can absolutelty get your money back if you can't make it or change your mind up to 1 week before the session.


+ Do you offer 1:1 mentoring?


Yes. I offer 1:1 sessions but only to two photographers at any one time to ensure I have the capacity to give my full support. Get in touch if you'd like to learn more :-)


+ Do I need to be an incredible photographer to make it?


No! I know some self-acclaimed "terrible" photographers who earn enough to do it full-time and live decent lives. Your work is not the most important part of running a successful business. I'll explain more on the day.
