# Alluring Rural Family Photography This New Family Portrait Photography Series is Simple and Bold By Farida Helmy | Published 2014-02-19 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-portrait-photography References: [lensculture](https://www.lensculture.com/articles/alain-laboile-la-famille) & [laboile](http://www.laboile.com) Picking the sweetest of subjects to photograph and being able to depict it so beautifully, the new 'La Famille' family portrait photography series by Alain Laboile whimsically reminds us what it was like to be free. Documenting the [freedoms of childhood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camp-snap) among his six children in [rural France](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farming-photographs), Laboile's intimate family portrait photography series is so achingly beautiful and simple. All in black and white, each photograph is like a documentation of a moment -- a moment this father of six would like to celebrate because it depicts his family life. "Day to day I create a family album that constitutes a legacy that I will pass on to my children. My work reflects our way of life, revolving around their childhood. My photographs will be the testimony of that," says Alain Laboile. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.5/10 - Popularity: 99% | Activity: 88% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Intimate Family Photography:** Opportunity for photographers to capture the beauty and simplicity of family life through intimate and personal portraits. - **Childhood Documentation:** Demand for photography series that capture the freedoms and joys of childhood in a nostalgic and artistic way. - **Legacy Photography:** Growing interest in creating visual legacies through family albums and documenting personal experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Photography:** Photography studios and individual photographers specializing in family portraits can capitalize on the demand for intimate and nostalgic imagery. - **Art:** Art galleries and museums can showcase photography series that depict the beauty and innocence of childhood and family life. - **Personal Memorabilia:** Printing companies and online platforms can offer personalized and high-quality prints for individuals looking to create family albums and visual legacies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Baby Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newborn-photography1.md) - [Personal Nostalgic Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holy-ohio.md) - [British Youth-Culture Photography Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/home-and-away.md) - [Photography Project Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/still-life-1.md) - [Imperfect Photography Celebrations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonnas-cam.md) - [Childhood Memory Capturing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dear-little-one.md) - [Timeless Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photos-by-artkive.md) - [Home-Defining Artistic Flags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-is-temporary.md) - [Retro Drawing-Inpsired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/family-project.md)
