Family groupings or portraiture Picture
Family groupings and portraits are the very first photographs ever taken. When the camera first appeared in the early 1800’s it was marveled at, but quite primitive according to today’s standards. People were used to seeing paintings, and they were astounded by photographs. It is readily understandable as the populace was used to seeing portraits for centuries. Families who could afford it had portraits of themselves painted.
This custom was immediately transferred to photography from a camera. People could not have ever imagined how realistically and with such detail that their image could be captured. So,as camera shops appeared everyone wanted their individual portrait photo taken.
This led to family portraits being taken In the latter 1800’s Queen Victoria had her first family photograph taken. It was printed in local newspapers, and for the first time her countrymen got to see the entire royal family together. Even today this concept of the family portrait remains and is commonplace in all societies.
Today for certain families this concept is often used in a particular form of family groupings from various periods in a family’s lives. An example of this is perfect for a long hallway or on a specific wall.This grouping of photos will often start off with the parents wedding picture, followed by baby pictures of each child, and then various photos of important family events and celebrations.
