The most beautiful family album

French sculptor and photographer Alain Laboile has six children. And he tells everyone about their lives with incredible emotion and skill.

Sculptor Leboile discovered the language of photography in 2007 and decided that it was the perfect medium for storytelling. And he tells the story of his family. Six children - two sons and four daughters - and his wife, who live with him in a small house in the southwest of France. He tells the story of happiness, energy and freedom.

His pictures show normal, lively children having the best childhood. They are naughty, rowdy, come up with all sorts of activities, drag cats around, roll around in the mud, splash water on themselves, spit, sit on tables, climb trees, put boxes on their heads. They freely and uninhibitedly explore the world that surrounds their home. They do whatever they want, and dad just follows them with a camera, keeping a chronicle of his family.

Timeless photographs of small and grown-up Tarzans. In each of these pictures there is unconditional love, attention and acceptance of life in all its beauty.

At the time these photos were published in 2013, Elliot was 18, Oliana was 16, Luna was 14, Merlin was 12, Dune was 5, and the youngest and most charming, Neil, was 4 years old.

There are a lot of photos - there are more than a hundred of them in this material, and the entire photo project has more than four hundred. But they are definitely worth the time spent viewing. Because in each frame there is life and joy. And together - the history of an entire family. Simple and beautiful moments, a stunning family album.

Attention to the prudes who will certainly gather in the comments: these are children. When you were little, you also ran around bare-assed. It's normal.
