The amateur photography is a phenomenon spread almost over each sphere of the everyday life. Combining the results of the survey of Moscow citizens aged from 18 to 25 (total amount of the surveyed people is 265) and the data of several in-depth interviews with respondents of age from 45 to 52 (6 questionnaires), the author reveals some patterns and features of the generations’ self-presentation through the amateur photographs. Applying the clipping principle of S. Eisenstein while analyzing the data, the author receives some peculiar results concerning the meanings of photographs in the end of 20th - beginning of 21st century as well as the main themes for the photographs of the two generations.
