Do you have to be 100% documentary to join?
Not at all. We celebrate the documentary aspect of your work, but you don’t have to photograph an entire session that way. Most photographers still include a few portraits or group shots — that’s absolutely fine.
All we ask is that you capture the majority of your family shoots in a documentary way — and that you do it brilliantly.
Membership cost
£120 per year — one price, everything included.
