Here Are Our 40 Award-Winning Photos That Show The Art Of Capturing A Family Moment
Family photography can be so many things: Emotional, powerful, funny, impactful, tender, surprising, meaningful... I could go on and on.
Amongst all those things, family photography is art. Art that is captured and composed on the fly—in the briefest of moments—because documentary family photography (which we celebrate at This is Reportage: Family) is totally unstaged. Nothing posed—just totally natural, real moments.
The images you see below are selected award-winning captures from our first two Collections on This is Reportage: Family. For each Collection, we've had over 4000 entries from all over the world, with our judges (themselves world-class photographers) choosing to award just the top few percent.
No poses; nothing staged—This is Reportage: Family.

so cute... also the second kid from the top looks like he's shocked at the design on the back of the first kid's shirt.

The way it's a silhouette image captures everything so perfectly. Even the boy's hair is captured in motion!

So beautiful, I love how all the reflections and perspective makes it so that you appreciate the image without fully understanding it.

I think it's a bit odd that the topic is supposed to be family, but so many of them are of solitary children. To me, family implies more than one person.

Interesting that so many see these images as melancholy. It's far, far more sad to see kids staring at screens. These kids are engaged in creativity. Having fun in a mundane manner and setting. These kids are actually growing by engaging their minds and bodies.

What is meant by "unstaged"? Many of these seem to be professionally posed and photographed. Was someone just coincidentally underwater with a water-proof camera and captured a candid moment?
