Life {as an artform} London 2011

May 5, 2011 · 8 Comments

I can’t very well let Jesh de Rox’s Life {As an Artform} London workshop go unmentioned on the blog. This was the second time Jesh brought his workshop to the UK (last year we were in Manchester), and this time around I had the honour of hosting the week with the lovely Penny from Tigerlily weddings.

It’s a funny thing, personal growth. Often changes that have huge affects on your life (and business) are seemingly so small (and slow) that they are very very difficult to measure. What the workshop did for me this time around was to provide a clear way to evaluate just how far I’ve come, with my craft, my business and the way I approach people & life in general. Throughout all the days, and all the experiments we did, all I felt was joy and excitement. No more fear, no more hesitation, just joy over connecting with other human beings.

It was also incredibly moving to be able to observe and help others to realise small steps towards growth and a more authentic way of communicating with clients, and with themselves. It was so so satisfying to see others really ‘get it’. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for all the attendees.

One of the highlights of the week was a live Beloved session with a lovely couple, Dani & Chris (aka The Barbers), who were brave enough to ‘model’ in font of, and for, us all. Thank you guys, it was truly moving.

I am beyond happy about where my business is at, and where it’s headed. My heart is bursting with ideas and I can’t wait to get stuck in and keep going full steam ahead. While I’ve been exploring Beloved techniques in all my engagement and wedding work throughout last year, I’m only now starting to offer dedicated Beloved sessions, which I’m so so excited about. I really feel that this is the future of couple photography, and at the core of what is important in life.

    Marianne, this is a beautiful overview of what was an incredibly special few days. Thank you so much for hosting, and for everything you gave and everything you are. Your photographs capture a spirit that will mean so much to all that attended, and are just lovely to look at. I love the image you caught of me (dont I look cold!). Thank you wonderful you! xx

    Lovely article, wish my funds would have stretched far enough for me to have attended, really love the idea behind ‘Beloved’. Hopefully if Jesh does another workshop next year I’ll get to go!

    It is always inspiring to see others grow and I love that you shared your workshop experience. I’m attending a workshop in a couple of months and I’m beyond excited but also scared witless, I have ABSOLUTELY ADORED watching you spread your wings and go full fledge into business and thrive. It gives me hope I can do the same :)

    This sounds like an incredible course – I really wish I could have done it this year but I’m a firm believer that things happen when you’re ready for them, so I’m hoping that next year the time will be right for me to do this.
    These images are beautiful.

    It is is no nice to read this post and actually be left feeling as if I could have wrriten it my self lol! This year has had a similar effect on myself and my business and you are so right about such small things having a positive effect on your business and your life. Working hard and continuing to learn and push yourself is so important

      It’s sometimes hard to remember in this world where there’s SO much outside noise, both irrelevant and positive to aspire to out there, that everything has to start from within.
