Workshops
Our Confidence Workshops aim to boost an individuals self esteem and are an effective way to help people develop self-assurance. Offering a range of activities and exercises aimed at helping individuals overcome insecurities about their physical appearance and build a positive self-image. We aim them at people who have low self esteem, low confidence, and from minority backgrounds or who are disadvantaged or physically challenged.
During the 5 hour course participants will learn techniques to manage image anxiety, practice presenting themselves in a confident manner and be encouraged to feel confident in their own skin. The workshops benefit individuals from all backgrounds and abilities. We help to increase confidence, by showing attendees that every body has its beauty regardless of size, gender or physical appearance and your personality can shine through.
We believe everyone should feel confident in front of the camera and all bodies are beautiful. Everyone deserves to feel confident having their photograph taken. If the beauty , fashion and media industries used diverse models that represented all bodies more often then more of us would benefit from better self image too.
Our Workshops are led by our very experienced photographer and lecturer Ed iGroover, (more info here). Ed has an amazing ability to make everyone feel comfortable and assured during the workshops and has a way of getting the best out of people.
