My path has taken me across continents, creative industries, and I’ve already lived a few lives in one. From Scotland to Los Angeles, Paris to Amsterdam — I have always worked in fashion, post-production, and photography. It was exciting to work with people I admired growing up or seeing my work in big Galleries, on magazine covers and billboards, but most of all, I really loved seeing people shine and bringing big creative visions to life was a dream for me.
But then life took me in a different direction. The curtain slipped.
Behind the smoke and mirrors of Hollywood, I saw the pain these seemingly perfect people carried.
These are people who had everything most people would want.
At the same time, I was living with chronic health issues and was really struggling as a result. I’d been pushing through for years, but finally it became impossible to ignore and hide professionally. I was living abroad, navigating doctors, loss of healthcare, language barriers, constant pain, chronic symptoms, past traumas and burnout — all while trying to keep up appearances and keep my career going. Eventually, something had to give. And it did.
Wisdom doesn't come cheap, as we all know.
My experiences have changed me — not just how I live, but how I see everything and what matters: I had to learn so much the hard way and figure stuff out for myself. Learn to trust myself, learn to nurture myself, and know who I was. Learn not to give in to the easy coping mechanism of shutting down or giving up. Now there is an influx of advice and information out there, and I believe that is just as overwhelming and often just as unhelpful.
Life is so challenging for most humans, I have had no choice but to devote much of my life to figuring out what was wrong with me physically, and gain mental resilience and strength like I never thought possible. Inspired by an inner voice, hope, trial and error and determination. It has been a lonely journey but I made the most of what blessings I had and Ive had many and became very experienced with connecting our body, mind and spirit and want to share everything I have learnt and be to you who i needed then.
What matters, how we connect, and what actually makes us feel confident, creative, and alive.
Now, I bring all of that into what I offer — coaching, photography, and a curated archive of fashion and tools to help you reconnect with your power, your presence, and what you’re really here for.
Because when you feel like yourself again — grounded, seen, and in alignment — everything shifts.Now, I bring that lived experience into everything I offer — blending coaching, photography, and a curated fashion archive to support people in their own moments of change. This work is about helping you reconnect with who you are, your power, expression, and purpose, and express that with clarity, confidence, and calm.

Ebony Dee Cheyne
Hi, I’m Ebony — photographer, creative director, coach, and someone who believes real confidence isn’t something you perform. It’s something you live.
My journey has taken me from Scotland to Hollywood, Paris to Amsterdam — working with global brands, styling A-list celebrities, and capturing beauty through photography, fashion, and post-production. I spent decades helping others shine on the outside. What I discovered along the way? The real magic starts within.
Behind the Gloss: A Deeper Truth
Working with some of the world’s most famous and idealised faces gave me a front-row seat to the pressure, pain, and perfectionism hiding behind the curtain. I saw people shrink under their own expectations, even while looking flawless on camera.
And I wasn’t immune. Behind the glamour, I was battling chronic health issues — life-altering Endometriosis from the age of 14, Dysautonomia and undiagnosed Celiac Disease that affected me for decades and caused a whole host of other issues. I know what it means to look like you’ve “made it,” while quietly falling apart.
From Surface to Substance
That’s where my work began to evolve. I became obsessed — not just with creating great images, but with sharing what was working for me as I had breakthroughs and hurdle after breakthrough and hurdle. Nobody was talking about Endometriosis, Microbiome, Celiac, Essential Oil but the first blog I found on someones experience with Dysautonomia was life changing for me so I am so happy that the internet and sm has transformed the isolated I worked with many incredible people learning mind & body techniques, tools and.believe their is no greater reward than helping people feel seen, safe, and strong in their bodies and lives.
I trained in transformational coaching, trauma-informed methods, strategic intervention, and wellness. I studied what makes people light up — from brain chemistry to belief systems to wardrobe choices — and built a toolkit that blends science, soul, and style.
Shine From Inside
Today, Shine From Inside is a reflection of that journey.
It’s photography with integrity. Coaching with compassion. Fashion with sustainability.
And wellness that doesn’t pretend life is perfect — but empowers you to live more fully within it.
I work with individuals and teams who are ready to reclaim their voice, their vision, and their vitality — whether that’s through an empowering shoot, a values-based coaching session, or a natural lifestyle reset.
What I Believe
A Few More Things
Welcome
Whether you’re here for empowered images, healing tools, or a transformation that starts way beneath the surface — I’m so glad you found your way here.
Let’s help you shine. From the inside, out.

What I Believe
- Confidence that lasts comes from living in alignment with your core values
- Health begins at the cellular level — and it’s worth fighting for
- True beauty isn’t about being flawless — it’s about being fully yourself
- We don’t need more perfection. We need more permission to be real
- When you shine from the inside, you change how you move through the world
A Few More Things
- I’ve had my first photo published at age 12
- I’ve worked with top-tier brands and celebrities for over 20 years
- I’ve moved countries on instinct — more than once — with just my dog, a suitcase
- I’ve experienced burnout, breakthrough, and everything in between
- I’ve built a new life and business from my deepest challenges — and it’s better than the old one
