Confidence Session
For those who feel anxious or uncomfortable about being photographed
The traditional experience of photography, can be having your photo 'taken' whilst being uncomfortable.
​
These sessions take you on a relaxing journey, within which you have the opportunity to share your image with the camera, in a space of confidence and positivity.
You decide in the initial consulatation the form the shoot will take.

"The face reflects what the mind and body is feeling"
"Thank you, Nick. I really enjoyed the session — it was such a lovely and calming experience. The combination of Reiki and visualisation helped me deeply relax and connect with what I truly wanted the photographs to capture. I’m often nervous about having my picture taken, and that usually shows in the images, but you created such a warm and welcoming space that I felt completely at ease. The photos reflect that beautifully."

Personal Consultation - 30 min zoom session
This is the initial process which allows me to understand your needs and tailor the session to you. We will cover:-
Your past experiences of photography and identify how this session needs to be different. What you require the photos are for and what form you want the shoot to take. A little about you, and an opportunity to build trust and confidence. Any questions you have.

Reiki
This session is to bring you in to a deeply relaxed state, in preparation for both the meditation and the photography

Guided Meditation and Journalling
This experience will be informed by our initial discussion, but broadly it will be a time to reflect upon, and envision your confidence and capability. To conneect with times when you felt in control, happy and self-asured. Your face reflects how you feel. This is time to bring you into a strong sense of positivity.

Photography & Conversation
I will start the photography as you begin writing down any thoughts and reflections on the previous sections. The shutter is silent, no click, clicking to distract you. After the journalling I will continue the photography in the format discussed with you in the initial session. As I take pictures there is also an opportunity to chat about the experience or anything else, rather than needing to focus on the camera.
