Last week I headed to the other end of the country, as photographer Zenna Barry had invited me to come and give my introductory seminar on the Beloved interaction technique to photographers in the North West. It was all worth the epic road trip, as we had such a lovely group of people all excited about what Beloved could add to their work and business. Our real life couple, Samantha & Simon, were brilliant during the demonstration, it’s never an easy prospect to be in front of a camera, never mind 24 other people!

Every time I talk about Beloved I can feel the ripples of excitement and those little moments of realisation going off in the audience. It really is an absolute joy to be able to spread something that I know will make every photographer feel more excited and fulfilled with their work. Next stop for me is the Beloved Collective Festival (now part of the larger Adventure Always conference), which I’m overseeing as the new Director of the Beloved Collective (fancy, right?). There are so many exciting things me and my team are working on for the future of the Beloved Collective, I just can’t wait to see all the work we’ve put in starting to properly blossom.
