In two rural communes of the Vesubie Valley, in the south of France, twenty‐five hundred family photographs were collected. Taken between 1890 and 1950, these pictures not only provided a basic approach to life histories as sensitive aids to photo‐interviews, they represented an understanding of the communities’ past and present and were a powerful source of social life renewal. They also bear witness to the importance of traditions and culture of family photography itself. Crucial confrontations between social classes, ages, sexes, rural and urban cultures, and tradition and modernity are demonstrated by the obligatory staging of photographic rituals
