Documentary Photography in Essex
Our photography is about people, not just of people.
In short, we help you, tell your story.
A short day in the life documentary film
Here is an example of a day in the life documentary photography film. These days are so much fun, and every package will come with a photographic film telling the story of your day to music - a perfect gift to share with family and friends.
We're also going to start expanding our YouTube video channel, so please also consider subscribing for new content on documentary family and event photography.
Who are we?
We are Sian and Ross Miller.
We run Shining Through Limited from our home in Burnham-on-Crouch, Essex. Our photography services stretch to the whole of Essex.
Photography is our passion, and it's a joy to help or customers, you, to produce the photography you will really love - photography that you will want to share with your friends and family.
We photograph on weekends, so if that works for you, please get in touch.
What we do
Family, wedding and event documentary photography is a method of photography that mixes photojournalism with family everyday life. It makes beautiful art from sometimes what many consider normality.
It presents life honestly. All I ask is that you trust in the process and be yourself. With that, wonderful, authentic, meaningful and beautiful art can be made.
As a guide, this is what we do not do:
- pose
- prompt
- direct
- change the environment
- change what we see
So you can see that booking a session with us is less controlling than booking with family "lifestyle" photographers. It is less stressful, more fun, and for many other reasons, listed here, is why we specialise in this method of photography. For frequently asked questions, please click here.
