Family Archives

Family archives- These are a selection of images from old albums, going back generations into the family, including my great grandparents’ parents. There are also recent images of the family now. For the old images, I took photos of albums under natural light for best results. These images represent the family going back generations. The old ones can be compared with the new ones, looking at how people and places have changed and showing how photography was different back then. Having these family archives creates meaning as it enables the young generation to look back at their ancestors and gather an understanding of what their lives were like. A comparison can also be made between the difference in events. The modern photos were taken during lockdown, therefore the separate families are distanced. These images show the history of the family and the history of the world and how the pandemic changed life so much.
