We can liken nature to the feminine. It's a yin, cyclical, reflective part of the world and ourselves.
Cities are a general manifestation of the masculine. They are go-getting, yang, innovative and pioneering.
One without the other is too much, but together, they counterbalance each other's side effects, and promote each other's benefits.
I grew up in the countryside, and I love the ocean, mountains, waterfalls and fresh air, but I was bored.
Cities are a cauldron of tastes and lifestyles.
With their wider degree of openness, there's a broader sense of acceptance.
We can be who we want to be in a playground of millions. We can find our tribe and meet like minded friends. Innovation is on our doorsteps.
Healthy cities have the potential to thrive like ecosystems, if only the players offered their true talents to the world.
I believe in a world of small businesses, where children and adults are free to follow their unique passions, rather than being pawned on conveyer belts for large corporations.
This is the foundation of my personal brand photography business in London. It's my mission to help other small businesses thrive, and therefore we all help each other thrive, much like how the trees in the forests use fungal networks to share their resources.
I seek to express energetic balance in my work. They say that when the feminine and masculine energies in each of us are balanced, harmony inevitably materialises as our reality.
Equally, every business has a masculine and feminine energy. And when they are in balance. The business naturally attracts abundance. When we are excessively go-getting, we may chase business away. But when we do a bit of putting ourselves out there, mixed with a sense of expected reception, and stand by our worth, business comes to us. Economies can ideally behave like ecosystems, when every human recognises their own unique value.
This is why it's important to reflect this balance of nature and man-made in your imagery. This is why it is vital for you to express yourself vibrantly as a high-value pioneer who wants to give and receive the resources of the world, with your clients.
During a free phone call with me, which occurs before you've invested in the session, we discuss which locations will work and then logistically work out how we can capture you authentically in an urban area as well as choosing a local park or forest with trees to fit some of the natural world in too! If we discount Oxford Street, London is considered to be one of the greenest cities in the world. City-dwellers utilise the parks and forests, because they crave that counterbalance of energies.
With Gratitude,
Your London Brand Photographer,
