Confident in your Skin with Mervyn Reid-Nelson
In this episode of Photography Adjacent, I chat with Mervyn Reid Nelson, the body confidence photographer behind You At Yours. On the surface his work looks like boudoir photography, but Mervyn is at pains to point out that it is something else entirely. Over eight years and 800 sessions he has built a practice around helping people, mostly women, see themselves clearly, often for the first time. When it gets down to it, Mervyn explains in the episode why the photograph is almost beside the point. This is a conversation about bodies, power, desire, and what it means to feel seen.
