Great thread idea Chuck. The FPJ blog that you and Daniel started was/is an excellent resource for me and really helped push the quality of my family pictures upwards. I'm looking forward to watching this thread as I have occasion.

@all, some very nice shots already!

I'm posting one old one from a few months back as it's one of my all-favorites:


And one new one moving forward:

I'm not too quick to pull out my camera, so most of my true PJ work is done on my iPhone. Here are images taken with my iPhone that have been edited in Snapseed or Afterlight and posted to IG. Great thread Chuck!

I passively followed the previous thread, and visited thefamilyphotojournalist.blogspot.com regularly until is grew quite. Makes me smile to see the conversation begin again. I'm generally a reader, but topics as these make me want to share.




I liked your initial post: the day to day of family life is often nothing more than an effort to reach tomorrow. Photos like these inspire me to try and smartly capture the mundane, savoring it in such a way that it tells our story. Often in ugly light and crunchy ISOs but when done well, the results have depth to send any soft box smile to the trash.

very well said!

nice image as well and I enjoyed the work on your blog! hope to see you post more!

Here are two shots (I am not sure if I like the color or the B/W better...). 55/1.2 wide open. D7000.

This was taken in a dark room, she is lit by her laptop. We were watching something scary on TV and the show was dark, so no help from the TV. ISO5000

Mike, good stuff!! Really like the first two, 7 , and 14.

I always waffle between grabbing my good cameras and (theoretically, because I don't have one) just using a smartphone.

Kevin, nice, is there a way you could have gotten the laptop in as well? I found for my own work, that even when I knew the story behind the image, and it made me smile, I smiled even more if the story was IN the image...

Great thread to start canerino. Family PJ photos is really what's it all about at a personal level. I can really see this taking over my photography time and even force me to actually do more photography once I have kids.

I'm glad that you mention layers as it can be an important element of a great PJ photo. Look at the work of many great PJ's and SP's. The way they work with layers is amazing. Combined with other pleasing elements whether it's shapes, lines, juxtaposition, repeating patterns, compostition, light/shadow, etc and of course context. It takes a special eye and skill to consistently include these elements in a photo while at the same time framed with a pleasing composition and thoughtful/interesting content all done candidly.

Some of you may enjoy looking through HCSP Family Scnapps thread where usually street photogrpahy elements and aesthetic are kept in mind.

I didn't have enough room to capture it all so I settled for a reflection of the screen in her glasses. This image isn't cropped and the room is small.

A few from my last scanning session (though the black and white is probably 6 months old or so, just developed and scanned it so it qualifies as new ).

@huddy - really enjoyed those shots! thanks for posting! hope to see more!

@morbs - really nice shots man! you can always pick up a cheapy x100 in the $400 range. its hard to beat at that price point!

@kevin - i echo zalmy's thoughts. i realize you couldnt back up. trust me, my house is tiny! i much prefer a 24mm or 35mm on full frame. i think 55mm on a cropped sensor is around 85mm. while i like the shot, i think the inclusion of the laptop would have made it stronger. i look forward to seeing more!
