Summary/Abstract: The author presents her research of three private photography corpuses, each studied from different viewpoints: as a possible (auto)biographic narrative, as an instrument for the segmentation of the private space and time, as a ritual action, and as a form of communication, which functions within the confines of a narrow social unit (the family or a local community). During the 20th century, photography has become a medium of biographic discourse. The actuality of its study is supported not only by the fact that photography has become a part of everyday life, but also by the way in which it began to demand its rights in the discourse of the human sciences.
