This was 2021
Excited to reveal our largest group feature to date – ‘This was 2021’ – where almost 100 of our members share their favourite documentary family captures from last year. Featuring the work of photographers all over the world, we’re showing just one image per photographer who contributed here, but note that doesn’t mean it’s their single favourite image – it would be too tough to just choose one fave photo from an entire year of shooting! – but each image is within that photographer’s personal Top 5 favourites of the year.
This is How: ‘Holiday’ by Katrin Küllenberg
In the third of our ‘This is How’ series – where photographers tell us exactly how they ‘got the shot’ – we have our 2020 joint-winner of Storyteller of the Year, Katrin Küllenberg, telling us exactly how she captured this Reportage Family Award of hers.

This is Reportage: Family & This is Reportage Christmas Party 2021!
A couple of weeks ago we had our Christmas Party in London, UK, and it was such a great night! For reasons known to the entire world, we were unable to do the party in 2020, so it felt amazing to be able to come together again this year. Very sadly, just a few days before the event, the UK covid travel rules changed, meaning lots of our European members were unable to make it over – such a shame! – but those that managed to come along all had a super (and perhaps, quite drunken…!) time 🙂
