Family photography, a ubiquitous domestic tradition in the
developed world, is now more popular than ever thanks to the
development of digital photography. Once uploaded to PCs and other
gadgets, photographs may be stored, deleted, put in albums, sent to
relatives and friends, retouched, or put on display. Moreover, in
recent years family photographs are more frequently appearing in
public media: on posters, in newspapers and on the Internet,
particularly in the wake of disasters like 9/11, and in cases of
missing children. Here, case study material drawn from the UK
offers a deeper understanding of both domestic family photographs
and their public display. Recent work in material culture studies,
geography, and anthropology is used to approach photographs as
objects embedded in social practices, which produce specific social
positions, relations and effects. Also explored are the complex
economies of gifting and exchange amongst families, and the rich
geographies of domestic and public spaces into which family
photography offers an insight.
