About By Elle - Photography

I’m a documentary style photographer specialising in natural, people centred imagery for corporate events, campaigns, and lifestyle photography. My approach is calm and unobtrusive, focusing on real moments as they unfold rather than heavily posed or staged images.

I work with organisations and individuals who want their work, events, or everyday moments documented honestly and professionally. I’m experienced in busy, fast moving environments and understand the importance of discretion, trust, and delivering images that feel natural and considered.

I’m currently building my wedding portfolio and offering documentary style coverage for couples who are drawn to a relaxed, natural approach. My focus is on capturing atmosphere, connection, and the story of the day, without interrupting or directing moments unnecessarily.

Based in Manchester.

Our Story

I started out many years ago photographing family portraits, but I quickly found myself drawn to the moments in between rather than the posed shots. The quiet interactions, expressions, and natural rhythm of people together felt far more meaningful to capture.

Over time, this developed into a documentary approach, influenced by street photography and observing real life as it unfolds. I’m interested in honest moments, atmosphere, and storytelling rather than directing or staging scenes.

That approach now informs all of my work, from events and lifestyle photography to my growing interest in weddings. I work calmly and unobtrusively, allowing people to be themselves and trusting that the most compelling images come from what’s real.

Our Team

By Elle is run solely by me, Elle. Working one to one allows me to keep things relaxed, responsive, and personal, with care taken at every stage of the process from planning to final delivery.

Experience

I have several years of experience in photography, beginning with family portrait work and evolving into a documentary, people focused approach. My street photography has been published in a number of independent magazines and shared widely online, helping me build a strong local reputation for capturing honest, unfiltered moments.

Through this work, I’ve developed a calm, observant style and an ability to work unobtrusively in real world environments, skills that translate naturally into events, lifestyle work, and weddings.

Typical Clients

I typically work with organisations, small teams, and individuals who value natural, documentary style photography. This includes corporate clients, campaign teams, creatives, and lifestyle focused individuals who want their work or events documented in an honest, unobtrusive way.
