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.
