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.

Is his Dorset? I remember the wind on the beach in Woolacomb would cut your ankles with sand!

The way it's a silhouette image captures everything so perfectly. Even the boy's hair is captured in motion!

So beautiful, I love how all the reflections and perspective makes it so that you appreciate the image without fully understanding it.

'The stadium is packed and jumping up and down at the sight of the new forward making his way through all the players as though they weren't even there and as he prepares to shoot yet another perfect goal everybody is screaming at the top of their lungs'
