Private Camera Confidence Consultation
- 15m
A short, private conversation to understand your context and where being on camera currently feels uncomfortable or inconsistent.
We’ll look at where this is showing up (e.g. portraits, events, internal or external visibility) and what would need to shift for you to feel more at ease and natural in those situations.
If it makes sense, I’ll outline a tailored approach based on that.
No preparation needed.
Welcome Call with Mervyn
- 15m
**Please RSVP to the calendar invitation to ensure Mervyn attends the call.**
Hello hello!
Welcome! Let's have a short, focused conversation to help you get clear on whether we can help you celebrate yourself!
By the end of the call, you’ll have a better understanding of:
- The process working with me (Merv)
- How you'll feel shifts in confidence AND receive an incredible set of images
- Whether working together would make sense for you
If it feels aligned, I’ll explain the next steps. If it doesn’t, you’ll leave with more clarity than you had before.

Please only book this call if you genuinely intend to attend. These slots are kept deliberately limited so I can give my full attention to each conversation.

Photo Reveal Session (In-Person)

About Me
Hi, I’m Mervyn Reid-Nelson, the founder and director of You at Yours, London’s leading body confidence photography experience. Over the years, I’ve been humbled to help people transform how they see themselves through photography. My journey started in wedding photography, capturing authentic, emotional moments. But a life-changing boudoir shoot in 2018 made me realise my true calling: helping people embrace their beauty by creating a safe, empowering environment free of judgments or filters. 🌟
In addition to my photography work, I’m proud to be a body confidence coach, teaching workshops centred around consent and empowerment. I’m honoured to have been voted London’s Best Boudoir Photographer three times and to have impacted over a thousand lives. My mission is to counter harmful societal beauty standards and showcase the diversity and uniqueness of every individual.
Outside the studio, you can catch me DJing, kayaking, or exploring London with friends - it’s a city that inspires me to live boldly every day. 🎶🚤

"One image (of my face looking down the lens) blew me away, I never thought badly of my face but Merv captured it in a way I stare at posters of film stars thinking what fascinating features they have. It truly is a joy to be able to see myself as I have looked at others."

"The result cannot be explained through words, but I can tell you that the photo reveal was filled with a lot of jaw-dropping moments and every time I see the photos the confident side of me kicks in. He somehow was able to capture a part of me that I knew it was hidden somewhere and I never seen it before until that day."

"I didn’t expect to like many of the photos, if any... I ‘knew’ before going in that I’d be going home with the smallest package because I anticipated not liking what I was going to see during the reveal but I loved the photos so much I ended up going for the biggest package 😂"

"I honestly had a mini panic after the shoot and before I saw the picture reveal two weeks later as I couldn't believe what I had done but, seeing the photos at the reveal was an amazing experience! I appreciate my body in a whole new way and will be getting a poster print for my wall!"
