STRKNG Photography Blog

Although child photography occasionally appears on STRKNG, we generally do not support it for the well-being of the child.
Our editorial context, with a strong focus that has evolved toward portrait and nude photography, is not appropriate for this.
In addition, there is the right to self-determination: minors are usually unable to fully assess the scope, publicity, and long-term impact of such publications.

Nevertheless, we would like to make one exception.

We invite you to share historical photographs from your own childhood.
By doing so, we honor the visual language of past decades and take a gentle look at the photographic conventions of earlier times.

We are particularly interested in images that clearly carry the spirit of their era, from carefully composed black-and-white photographs to early color snapshots and spontaneous images from later decades.
Whether formal or casual, deliberately staged or accidental: what matters is the atmosphere and the period-specific perspective.

There is nothing to win, except a bit of nostalgia and the joy of shared memories.

How to participate:

1) Create a blog post (whether the post is open for feedback comments is up to you)
2) Show photographs of yourself only
3) Use the tag “pastmemories”; the title may include an approximate time and place

We look forward to your personal time documents, which we will explore together here:

The campaign ends in March.
