- Family photography is the oldest form of personal photography.
- It is much more personal and informal. It is more mobile and images are all networked together- the images share someone’s identity.
- Digital images can easily be deleted if someone doesn’t like them- whereas older images you would have to wait for them to be developed to see the image and then they were turned into albums.
- Kodak was created for families so that they could create their own photographic memories.
- Some examples of family photos are: school photographs, Places with meaning, pets and events.
