For most of us, our earliest interaction with photography would have been in front of the camera, facing a parent or a relative, coaxing us to smile for them. There would have been something important about the occasion to warrant making a picture of. It was a privilege to have a camera and be able to document one’s family. However, as cameras became more dexterous and affordable, how we photographed our families changed. It was no longer secluded only to the commemoration of milestones or of choice moments. It made us more inclined to photograph as much as we’d like, which in the past would have seemed excessive. It provided a wider berth for comprehension; to look beyond the generational facades and grasp the complexities of relationships within the context of our shared affinity with our families. Vedika Singhania’s photographs reflect this dynamic.
