Why Documenting My Family Is Important is what I’m talking about today.
Documentary Photography is such a important part of our history as humans and the legacy we live amongst our friends and family. I encourage and hope you take tons of photos of your families and friends.

Whenever I go through family photos the ones I gravitate towards aren’t the posed shots or vacation scenes of places I hardly remember. It’s the photos that capture regular life. They take me back to that time. I’ve picked up and put down photography as a hobby multiple times. I like the idea of using it to document everyday life. It’s got me feeling motivated to start again
So inspiring
Inspired by this bro
I share your sentiment regarding reality and social media. Shooting to grab moments of reality is showing the soft underbelly of one’s reality – the opposite of building a front for consumption by the algorithms.
Such a beautiful video Edward, really appreciated it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks bro, this is all the motivation I needed.
Hello.
I wanted to say thank you for this video, I just lost my father and it did me a lot of good. May god keep you and your family. Thank you 🙌🏾🙏🏾
An extremely thoughtful piece, thank you.
Nice words. How true
Thank You Edward for this touching inspiration and motivation. Have been doing this with my family for years via formal group shots with a medium format Rolleiflex 6002 6×6 (now a GFX50R is applied). Though, now recently a Leica Q2 helps in capturing these mundane moments (before a X100, X100V). Greetings from Germany.
Thank you for sharing this very important message Edward 💛💛💛
Man this is so important! Thank you for making this film!
Stunning
Felt this man, really well done!
As someone who recently got into photography and also had my dad pass, this hit on a completely different level that makes me feel so much more inspired to document time with family and friends. Thank you for sharing.
Documenting everyday life is important to me to. Keeping memories of the famille. Timeless
This is the exact reason that I've sunk down the rabbit hole of finding the camera(s) that work best for me. Documenting life and family is so important. Beautiful video.
wow, well done
masterpiece. amazing work man.. made me think about why i fell in love with photography in the first place.
Maaan you really touch my heart! Thank you, thank you so much for this video and for your thoughts. Un abrazo grande!
Edward, sorry to hear you lost your father too soon. Blessings! And thank you for the raw and authentic you. Be well and best to you and your family as you continue your life journey.
Beautiful video Edward
Documentary is where it's at for me.
so many times people ask why I’m taking photos of some moments and situations, like not grasping what is happening. It is for memories, even if it’s not a amazing phenomenon happening, it’s life going by and I want that a bit more… I totally relate to this video. loved it!
I just subscribed. Great work Edward.
beautifully done Edward, love the mood of this video. Photography should be just that, it doesn't have to be anything epic, the best photos are always just the ones of the mundane that mean the most to us and no one else.
Excellent story teller of life and excellent cinematographer!
My grandfather passed away three weeks ago and this got me. At his funeral, they used a candid picture I took of him hugging my uncle. For the rest of my life I will be thankful that I captured that moment. Cheers.
I absolutely love this. So many of us take for granted the small things that make up our life. You did an excellent job of reminding us to observe and appreciate every moment. Thank you.
Beautiful. There has been times where I’d think I was capturing and posting too much about my family and that it might bore ppl. But in the end those are the posts I look back on the most.
Love your work. Tone. Content. Thank you.
Beautiful video and even more beautiful words. Love it bro
Love this, all of it. During lockdown, I went through every single one of my family film photos (from even before I was born) and scanned them to preserve them. Photos of loved ones always hold the biggest weight.
Man great video!!!
Excellent content and message. All 100% accurate. One day, all we’ll have is the memories. Life is not about the stuff we own, but the experiences we have. Pick up your camera and document those experiences. They will mean more to you as time goes by.
