Personal Brand Photography West Sussex - Gen Boast - Beyond Human Stories
I’ve been thinking about this special day with Gen a lot, as like it was the day of this shoot, all of a sudden the days are a bit warmer and the trees are a bit greener and Spring has suddenly emerged! All that’s left now is for those pink and purple rhododendrons to make their appearance…
This was my second shoot of three last year that Gen and I collaborated on, which was an absolute treat!!
As you’ll see from the photos, we had the most playful and magical time exploring a very beautiful patch of West Sussex woodland owned by her friend, creating scenes for Gens social media, blog, emails and everywhere else she shares imagery.
Gen holds space for people to transform their stories, from narratives that no longer serve them, to stories that support and transform the individual, the collective and the planet. She is deeply connected with nature and her environment so we wanted to create images that evoked this and to tap into different energies throughout the shoot.
You can find out more about Gens deep work at her website Beyond Human Stories, and I highly recommend reading her written insights and musings on her blog here.
A snippet from Gens website:
“Beyond Human Stories was sparked by a vision. Whilst journeying alone in the canyons of Utah, I was shown a world where humans are re-initiated back into the ecosystem of earth, re-awakening our place in the vast web of life. A world where each of us begins to walk our unique path responsibly and in finding our true purpose, contributes to the prosperity of all. This is a new time on Earth where our story of ‘me’ is morphing into a bigger story of ‘we’.”
“Through personal and collective awareness, empowerment and responsibility we can make new stories that serve life on earth. We can remember, reconnect and redefine what it means to be human.”
Here are a few of my favourite images from this day. Read what Gen had to say about our shoot here! And if you’d like to see the photos from our previous shoot, you can check those out here.
