Why do we need a family photo? Leading masters of the genre answer — Russian photo

Why do we need a family photo?

Leading masters of the genre answer

February 26, 2015

Launching a competition among the best family photographers of our club, we planned from the very beginning a series of publications about how important this genre is and why. In today’s first article, we tried to find answers to the following questions: why and for whom do we need children’s and family photography? What does it mean for the child and parents? What is its place among other genres of photography? Leading photographers of the country, members of the Russian Photo club share their thoughts.

Natalya Marusya Tokareva:

“Our great-grandchildren need a family photo. Very needed. Just as we cherish those crumbs inherited from the great-grandfather of the pre-war period. We need it as a biography. Needed, like a time machine, transporting you to bygone times. It is necessary as a connection of times – past, present and future.

Veta Alekseeva:

“A family photo is not just a memory photo, it is a mood, feelings, atmosphere, carefully preserved for yourself and children. A family photo album is a family history that must be preserved; it is a wonderful tradition that helps to strengthen the family. Looking at the photographs of grandparents, faded from time to time, we are surprised to find features in common with them, we guess the great-grandfather’s heavy character by the look, and we notice from the style of the dress that the great-grandmother was a fashionista. Family photography is our family tree, which can be studied not only by the family tree.”

Ekaterina Vishnevskaya:

“Family photography is needed because it gives a sense of the whole family. Understanding that grandparents are not characters in fairy tales, but real people who in childhood gave their grandchildren and great-grandchildren their love. Such knowledge of one’s own roots is very important for a child who is beginning to grow up, for the formation of his character, personality and values.

Natalia Deksbakh:

It is needed for the children themselves, and this is obvious. Do any of you remember yourself at 3 years old, at 8 years old, at 12? That’s it yourself? For example, I don’t. I remember how I treated myself at some age, but how I looked was very vague… I remember myself and my parents only from the frames they took, and how sorry I am that there are very few of these pictures! But then the whole photography was on a completely different level. Now everything has changed, it has become more accessible than ever. And you should not miss this opportunity to let your children look at themselves from the outside. Today or decades from now, a photograph of yourself as a child will cause a flurry of emotions and memories of a time, place, event. And then I, an adult, will not regret that there is very little photo memory of childhood left. Take pictures of your kids! They need it!”

Marina Denisova:

“I think that this is the only way, apart from pictures, to stop time… The happy time of a child’s life in the family, the joyful moments of childhood parents. Years go by, and everything changes, relationships within the family can, God forbid, become difficult. And perhaps, by picking up photographs of past years and remembering the old love-filled days, people will be able to reflect and try again to change their feelings, revive hopes and aspirations. ..

When I was little, my favorite pastime was looking at yellowed photographs of my then-young grandparents. It’s great that they have a huge number of pictures left! I was surprised to find a little chubby girl in their arms. Turns out it was my mom! But if there weren’t these photos, I wouldn’t be able to touch the past of my family, I wouldn’t be able to pass on to my children the love story of my grandparents, mom and dad. Family photography is a link between generations.”

Galina Dolgikh:

“Our life is fleeting, and what seems to us eternal and unshakable today becomes just a memory tomorrow. In the family archive, we keep a storehouse of the best memories and the happiest moments in life: the birth of a child, discharge from the hospital, the first photo session of the baby, the first shooting of the whole family… Family photography becomes more and more valuable over the years, because only with its help we can mentally return to the past.

Natalya Drachinskaya:

“Family photography helps to visually preserve family history. This is especially important for children. Remember, each of us has cute and such native images from our childhood, which fade over the years, are erased from our memory. Photography documents these images, which means it helps to keep in touch with our past, with our roots, with the house where we grew up, with previous generations. Pictures from the family album will bring our children back to the time when they were unconditionally happy and give them the strength to move on. For parents, a family photo will become a saga about the love and beauty of happy loved ones, about the growing up of children, about bright moments spent together. Family pictures will warm the hearts of grown-up children when they start an independent life. And it is very important to print photos, preferably in the format of photo albums, which will then be folded into a real family archive. The pages of these albums will remember the warmth of the hands that leafed through them, and they will generously share them.”

Natalya Kaznacheeva:

“I think I can safely say that there is a family photo in every home. And it doesn’t matter in what form it exists, shot with gadgets, soap dishes or professional cameras. Its whole essence lies in our human need to have such personnel. Now it’s hard to imagine a newly-made mother who didn’t take a selfie in the maternity hospital, having come to her senses after giving birth, who didn’t capture the long-awaited baby and dad scalded with happiness with a baby in his arms. And all this is because we are overwhelmed with emotions, we want to relive these moments again and again, we want to share this happiness with loved ones. I would like to show the grown-up baby how happy we were when he was born. And he will grow, remembering and knowing this joy and love.

Family photography is also found in everyday life, capturing ordinary, but very personal events that form the history of the family with one’s own eyes. These are not pictures of how we looked and what we were wearing, these are pictures of the real us. Surely many people have such shots, and we value them not only because we, our children or relatives are on them. They are dear to us, because they contain our life experience, they are our connection with time, cities and countries, events, people. At the level of sensations, we remember the smallest details, characters, actions, feelings of the captured moment.

I would not like to talk about sad things, but this is important: unfortunately, we are all not eternal. And here family photography is of great importance. If you want, this is the very trace that we leave behind. We remember and honor our departed loved ones, tell children about them, show them what they were like. It seems to me that this is an important moment in every family – to preserve and increase family memory. After all, knowing our past, we live in the present and build our future. Each photo is a piece of family wealth. Family albums filled with life, traditions, unique moments are a unique legacy for future generations.”

Natalya Andersen:

“Happy is the one who is happy in the family! And so that this happiness can be seen, touched and experienced again, in my opinion, a family photo was invented. These are such rays of warmth and light, the connection of generations on paper. You leaf through a family album, look at the touching children’s faces, at young grandparents – and you immediately remember something long forgotten, but so tender and dear, and you understand that you are not alone. At such moments, you believe and know that everything will be fine, because love lives here. May there be more of it both in life and in photographs. ”

Olga Lebedeva:

“Actually, a family photo is not needed… It is necessary! This is a kind of spiral with many turns, each of which is a generation. One turn fell out – and there is no spiral … This is a memory, this is an opportunity to go back. This is the key to a conscious future. We must know who our forefathers were, how they lived, how they lived! What they put on, how they laughed, how they played, cried, felt sad… This is our life. The family photo has its continuation in the family album. Each individual shot is a whole world, a whole life! It is necessary to preserve and increase this knowledge. It is necessary to develop in our environment the value and significance of family photography. Why is she needed? In fact, the answer to this question is very simple: for our peaceful future. We just know the most important thing: we have a family. And the family photo album is the main confirmation of this!”

Olga Lebedeva:

“It seems to me that despite the fact that lately family photographic archives have somewhat lost their popularity in our lives, family photography has somewhat lost its popularity. A good family album is a treasure. It not only allows you to recall some event, family history, but also reflects the emotions and inner world of people and even their attitude to their past. If you make such an album with love, interesting and of high quality both in content and design, it will really become a real family value and, it seems to me, will even strengthen family relationships.”

Olesya Loza

“The only thing that has value in life is love. And our path is relationships with people. Time erases the visuals, and only flashes of light in the soul from the brightest moments of life remain. Photography gives you the opportunity to relive the happy and unique moments of your life. Everything is said in the famous song: “For everything to be repeated again, look at the family album. To remember what we were, save the family album. For me, in my old age, the family album will have the greatest value, of course, from material values. The family album is such a time machine, and where it takes you back depends on the photos that make up your family album.”

Alena Novgorodtseva:

“From childhood, I remember the photographs of my grandfathers and grandmother, cracked, in some places to be torn … I remember how I carefully crossed them in boxes, a and then, together with my mother, she inserted them into albums with and without corners, with windows, with thick cardboard pages. This is where family history is preserved! The awareness of the significance and value of photography appeared in me back then and is growing every year. My family history is also “written” in a similar book, and the visual chronicle is permanent. I shoot everywhere, all our holidays, walks and trips; I can’t even imagine that some event will not be captured… And family values ​​are everything in this life!

Photo: Alena Novgorodtseva

Becoming a wife and mother, I realized what peace is in my soul! A family is a world where it is easy and simple to be together, sometimes to be silent and hear each other; these are caring hands covering you with a blanket on winter evenings; these are joint discoveries and travels; these are books read aloud; it is tenderness and understanding; it is a look in one direction. When shooting family photo stories, I try to convey all this in my works, to catch a clear and at the same time invisible thread, energy that unites loving and beloved people. And I am happy because I fix this connection forever, these emotions for my heroes in photographs and over time the frames become priceless. Many years later, they themselves, their children and grandchildren will look at and sort through photographs, remember, be sad and rejoice … All this is very simple, and this is love, family, life!

Anna Oleinik:

“For me, photography is a small story, a moment of life saved as a memory. Our life is fleeting, days fly by after days, and sometimes just looking at old pictures, we remember different moments and our emotions… Happy, magical, or maybe a little sad, but still touching and loved. A family photographer is a person who will preserve the history of your family. He, like a chronicler, will be there, collecting grains of your emotions and smiles, weekdays and holidays. Your meetings, walks, the first steps of children, their pranks and games. And I wish everyone that this person becomes a professional photographer, so that your pictures are really high-quality and harmonious.”

Natalia Proshina:

“Every moment of life is unique and, alas, fleeting. And sometimes, in order to remember the joyful moments spent with your family and friends, you just need to look into the family album. It is he who keeps the first steps of your baby, the touching love for your soulmate, the secret sacraments of the wedding or baptism of the child. As a children’s and family photographer, I see my goal in the most accurate reflection of such fleeting moments. My work is based on absolute naturalness. The more alive the photo and the sincere emotions on it, the brighter your memories will be, the more interesting it will be for you to share them with others, to pass the album from generation to generation. ”

Anna Rau:

“A family album is like a name and a surname: it contains the history of a family, clan and entire generations. It is like orders or medals of grandparents; like diplomas or school certificates of parents; like an old great-grandmother’s wedding dress; like the tune that played at the first school party; like a strand of hair or a child’s first tooth that falls out. All these particles form the character and values ​​of your family and your clan.”

Oksana Suprun:

“In our time of public digital technology and millions of digital files, family photography is needed more than ever. One. Big. Printed on paper or canvas, decorated in a beautiful frame and hanging on the wall in the most visible place. And it must change along with the ongoing changes in the family. It is even better if it is a “laughing” photo of all family members that will not leave anyone indifferent. Such a photo is very positive for everyone around. Look around, do you have family photos at home?

Photo: Oksana Suprun

Alena Teplova:

“Why do we need a family photo? To hide the first smile, the first step, warm hugs and the smell of summer in a family album. And then open it and plunge into the memories, relive and feel them again and again.”

Anastasia Frolova:

“Family photography is a documentary evidence of family history. Why is it needed? Firstly, it is curious: what was before you? What were you like 5, 10, 15, 20 years ago? And what were your father, grandfather, great-grandfather like? Anyone who has ever watched a family album knows that it is incredibly exciting. Secondly, we are all inextricably linked with our past, the loss or forgetting of which can lead to a crisis, for example, an existential one.
