Owen Mills Photography

Owen Mills is a filmmaker & photographer who brings a cinematic eye to portrait photography in Canterbury and across the South East. As a specialist in portraiture, Owen focuses on creating honest, characterful images that feel natural rather than overly posed. Whether you need a professional headshot for LinkedIn, a creative portrait for your personal brand, or polished images for a business profile, Owen’s approach is rooted in collaboration and calm direction. Drawing on his film and video background, Owen pays careful attention to composition, light and pacing. Many sessions offer the option to shoot on film (including Kodak Gold 200) or digital, giving clients a distinct, tactile aesthetic or a crisp modern finish depending on the brief. This flexibility means each portrait session is tailored — from expressive, editorial-style shoots to clean, professional headshots — while always prioritising authenticity and personality. Working with Owen is straightforward and low-stress. He starts with a short consultation to understand your goals, whether you’re a creative building a portfolio or a professional refreshing your business headshots. On the day he creates a relaxed atmosphere, using simple direction and friendly conversation to put you at ease. Sessions can take place in-studio in Canterbury or on location across Kent, Sussex and London — whatever best suits the mood and context you want to capture. Clients choose Owen Mills Photography for his thoughtful, cinematic style and for the way he balances creative vision with practical needs. Many appreciate that his background in filmmaking informs how he frames moments, paces a shoot and crafts a final edit that works across social, press and corporate platforms.
