About Rosie

Hi, I'm Rosie

I'm a professional photographer and educator, and I've been behind a camera for 18 years.

I've won Cosmo Bride Photographer of the Year. I've been featured in Forbes, The Times, The Guardian, Newsweek, on This Morning and Sky News. And I've photographed front covers for Professional Photographer, Top Santé, Platinum and Women's Fitness.

So you'd think I'd have my own photos sorted.

And yet…

The problem wasn't how I looked

It was that photos didn't look like me.

I'd look fine in the mirror. Then I'd see a photo and think… who is that?

My face felt different. My smile looked slightly off. Everything just felt like a version of me I didn't recognise.

So I'd do what most people do:

take loads of photos
pick the least bad one
and try not to think about it too much

And with so few photos I actually liked, I found it really hard to show up.

It wasn't that I lacked confidence.
I was lacking control.

No one had ever shown me how to actually translate myself on camera.

So I worked it out.

I built a five-step method using:

my phone
a small tripod
and a Bluetooth clicker

No studio. No team. No vague advice like "just relax".

Just a repeatable way to get photos that actually looked like me.

I tested it on myself. And for the first time, I took a photo where I thought:

"This actually looks like me."

Then something interesting happened

People started asking:

"How are you getting photos like that of yourself?"

So I taught them.

And the same thing kept happening. They stopped trying to "look better"… and started looking like themselves.

That became Slay Your Selfies.

700+ women have so far taken the course
And 11,000+ have gone through my photography training overall
one woman used the method for her profile photo and ended up featured in Forbes

The messages I get now are things like:

"I look like me. But better. I didn't know that was possible."
