Faces Of The Day

For his series Generations, photographer Julian Germain captures 4 or 5 generations in one family portrait.  Writing in 2005, Tom Shakespeare praised Germain’s work:

Photography captures a single moment in time. But the work of Julian Germain succeeds in raising questions about time passing which bring together past, future and present within the single image. He has succeeded in using portraiture to explore the particular and the specific in a way that eloquently poses questions about the life of every viewer, sending us away moved and challenged. His work explores not just the individual lifespan from birth to death, but also the context of family and society, which gives meaning to personal stories.
