Revealing the winners of our final Collection of 2024! Click here to see the full Collection

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.

Are you looking for a family photographer? If you would like your family or event captured naturally, without anyone directing you or controlling the action – capturing those real, natural moments – then check out the photographers below, or head over here to search by location.

Photographers, would you like to join us? It’s a whole new Awards-year here on This is Reportage: Family, and you have the best chance to be on our Top 100 Photographers in the World and Top Storytellers in the World lists for 2022 if you enter the very first Collection. The deadline is soon: Submit by 23:59 GMT on 24th January 2022. Apply to join us to submit.
