Family values //
I have worked as photojournalist for 4 years. I get used to the news and reportage, scandals and accidents, marches and arresting. This is the best-published photos. But the world is not as MASS MEDIA present it to the consumer. That is why i turned my interest to the 99% of the people. Real peole. Who not make the news. Whom you can hardly find on the magazines front pages.
I choose topic that has no commercial value- and it almost impossible to published it. This is "Family". "Love" and "Tenderness" as filings to concentrate on.
According to the press and TV- "Love" becomes "Sex", "Family" presents as "Homosexual" or "STAR scandals". Ordinary people are missing. Who every day ordinary love each other, ordinary bring up children, work and have holidays.
Before reportage i had an idea that only Love can bring child for the couple. It means, as bigger is family, as much they love each other. I find two wonderful families who agree to be photographed. Every family has 3 children, but with completely different stories. One- having daughter decided do adopt 2 girls from Madagascar island, where was humanitarian tragedy at the moment. The real story how Love can make miracle. Next summer family goes on vacation to Madagascar for 6 weeks to make overview for girls. Another – having their 3 children never shout at them. Parents explain to children what is wrong in every difficult situation. They live without cell phones and almost without TV. During the week they once watch TV for 1 hour spending al the time in garden, playing.
This is family Love stories.
